| 1. Williams, Joseph.

Abstract: In this political-psychology paper, I argue that during “Nation-Building,” or “Peace-Keeping” operations, an exploitable “psychological seam” is created as one military unit is replaced by another military unit (the effect is most pronounced between the first and second units). In nation-building or peace-keeping operations, it is widely accepted that the nexus of these types of operations is the local population, however, despite this wide acknowledgement, little research or examination of this "seam creating" phenomenon has been done. I will use the first transition in Iraq (April 2004) as my case study. |
