Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2004Article 80Global Issues. Publisher: World & I, 2003ISSN: 1522-3221;.Subject(s): Afghanistan -- History -- Antiterrorist operations (2001-) -- Reconstruction | Economic development | Humanitarian assistance -- Afghanistan | Humanitarian assistance -- Iraq | International cooperation | Iraq War (2003) -- Reconstruction | U.S. Agency for International Development | Unilateralism | United Nations -- IraqDDC classification: 050 Summary: "As Afghanistan and Iraq show, the current system of international development is unable to deal with military-induced humanitarian crises. Iraq could turn into a large-scale 'development disaster' that the current system of international development cannot accommodate. The present system is based on unilateral U.S. action that largely ignores the United Nations and spends much more on war than peace." (WORLD & I) This article suggests that the "failure of development assistance in Iraq is a strong indication of the need to redesign the system of international development. Until the international community--and especially the United States--grants a greater role to the United Nations and Middle Eastern organizations, there is little hope of preventing the upcoming development disaster."
