SUMMARY:The Iraq Wars: American Policy from Saddam Hussein to ISIS
DESCRIPTION:NEW JERSEY\n\nThe Iraq Wars: American Policy from Saddam Hussei
 n to ISIS\nSponsored by Center for Civic Leadership and Responsibility (Ca
 mden County College) and the Middle East Center (University of Pennsylvani
 a)\n\n&nbsp\;\nPresenter: Dr. Michael Boyle\, Assistant Professor Politica
 l Science\, LaSalle University\nLocation: Civic Hall\, Connector Building\
 , Blackwood Campus\, Camden County College\nMichael Boyle\, PH.D\, Assista
 nt Professor Political Science\, LaSalle University\, will discuss\, why i
 s President Obama the fourth consecutive American president to use militar
 y force in Iraq? Why does the U.S. never seem to be able to extricate itse
 lf from a conflict that began twenty years ago? This lecture will examine 
 the factors – geopolitical\, economic and moral - that have drawn succes
 sive Presidents into the Iraq’s conflicts over the last twenty years. It
  argues that American policy in Iraq has been beset by a recurring series 
 of misconceptions – about the nature of the Iraqi state\, about the poli
 tical\, sectarian and class-based divisions that animate the society\, and
  ultimately about their ability to produce social change in that country 
 – and by a mismatch between goals and resources\, both of which have dee
 pened Iraq’s crisis rather than alleviate it. As a result\, the U.S. is 
 now a protagonist in another war against ISIS in Iraq which may lead to th
 e disintegration of the state and the emergence of a new order in the Midd
 le East.\n\nApart from the ongoing academic lectures and programs at the M
 iddle East Center\, this six-part lecture series at the Camden County Coll
 ege is part of Center’s community college outreach initiatives. Our past
  programs with the Camden County College included topics such as arts\, hi
 story\, culture\, and religion in the Middle East.\n\nIt is free and open 
 to public. NJ Professional Development Credits (CEU) are available for ed
 ucators.
