Book talk: 'State Matters: Theorising state fragmentation and consolidation from Iraq'

Nida Alahmad presents arguments from State Matters on the historical consolidation and fragmentation of the Iraqi state, followed by a chaired book talk.

The talk uses historical episodes from the Iraqi state’s formation in 1921 through the post-2003 period to discuss domination, legitimation and how people experience the state. The official page names Nida Alahmad as speaker and Adam Hanieh as chair. Registration is required for free entry; seating is first come, first served.
