Geopolitics and energy in Iraq where politics rules

"This paper addresses the issue of the March 7, 2010, national election; the selection of a prime minister; and whether the promise held by the election will be fulfilled. If not, will the country return to the sectarianism conflicts that characterized its past? This report also addresses the issue of the Iraqi oil and gas sector, including security of the critical infrastructure, the role that sector has played over the years, its current position, and the prospects held for achieving a place in the world oil market commensurate with its reserves in the ground. The report concludes with a look at the electricity sector and the general public unhappiness with inadequate supplies."
