Espejismo en el desierto: las fallas en la primera fase de la intervención estadounidense en Irak. (2011). Civilizar, 11(21), 49-68. https://doi.org/10.22518/16578953.38

Abstract

La intervención estadounidense en Irak desde 2003 constituye uno de sus últimos desafíos en su política exterior. Bajo un marcado unilateralismo y sin el aval de la ONU, la Administración de G. W. Bush decidió invadir a un actor fundamental en el equilibrio de poder de Oriente Medio. Su lucha contra el terrorismo internacional ocasionó resultados adversos en Irak: crecimiento de la insurgencia y el fundamentalismo, fallas administrativas en la reconstrucción (ORHA y APC) y acciones militares en contra de la población civil en un enfrentamiento irregular. Estos factores evidencian una política errónea de Washington hacia ese país y la región.
