A key tenet of U.S. foreign policy has been that promoting democracy reduces terrorism; however, scant empirical evidence links democracy to terrorism, positively or negatively. This study explores the relationship between the two by examining the effects of liberalization processes on political violence in six Arab cases.

In 2008, RAND carried out a survey of conditions in Anbar Province, once one of Iraq1s most violent areas. The resulting data on demographics, employment, income and standards of living, education, health, housing and public infrastructure, the effects of war, and agriculture should foster greater understanding of current conditions in al-Anbar and help identify areas on which to focus future assistance.

Social Sciences

This book examines six case studies of insurgencies from around the world to determine the key factors necessary for a successful transition from counterinsurgency to a more stable situation. The authors review the causes of each insurgency and the key players involved, and examine what the government did right or wrong to bring the insurgency to an end and to transition to greater stability.
