Petroleum and Politics in Iraq: The Struggle for the State investigates how oil wealth, elite power struggles and foreign intervention have shaped the fragile nature of the modern Iraqi state.
Focusing on the period from Iraq’s foundation through to the aftermath of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, this book analyses how rentierism, tactical political decision-making and coercion have interacted to erode, rather than reinforce, state cohesion. Drawing on rentier state theory, Joel Migdal’s “politics of survival,” and Antonio Giustozzi’s work on coercive institutions, it traces how successive Iraqi regimes – despite access to massive oil rents and international aid – failed to build lasting legitimacy or effective governance. Instead, the reliance on coercion became increasingly pronounced, leaving the state vulnerable to internal collapse and foreign influence. Through a careful examination of both pre- and post-2003 Iraq, the book argues that elite strategies and international actions have consistently undermined opportunities for meaningful state consolidation and raises critical questions about the future trajectory of Iraq’s territorial and political integrity.
Essential reading for scholars of Middle East politics, international relations and political economy, this book also offers valuable insights for policymakers, analysts and practitioners involved in post-conflict reconstruction, state-building and governance in resource-dependent and conflict-prone contexts.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
