Tuesday, November 27
6 p.m.
Hesburgh Center for International Studies Auditorium

Larry Diamond, professor of political science and sociology at Stanford University, will address the question of the stabilization of Iraq.

In the past few months, a "surge" in US troop levels and a new strategy of political outreach to Sunni and other tribal and provincial leaders have reduced levels of violence in Iraq and raised hopes for some measure of ultimate success.  But the underlying political stalemate in Iraq remains.  There is no consensus on the constitution, the federal structure of the country, or the control and distribution of the country's oil resources and revenues.  Diamond will discuss the political implications and prospects of the current situation, and why achieving a national political bargain is vital to stabilizing Iraq and preventing a descent into a much larger and bloodier civil war.

This event is sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies & the Kellogg Institute for International Studies.
