The Report “More Than ‘Shiites’ and ‘Sunnis’: How a Post-Sectarian Strategy Can Change the Logic and Facilitate Sustainable Political Reform in Iraq” is a result of a number of meetings between researchers from NUPI and a group of Iraqi academics and professionals during the past year.

The group includes Iraqis from all parts of the country, comprising Islamists as well as secularists, people living inside Iraq as well as exiles, and a variety of professional backgrounds, including political science, the oil sector and the military.

The report presents a plan of action for Iraq, the United States, and the international community designed to appeal to all Iraqis, regardless of ethnic or sectarian backgrounds.

NUPI carries out research and disseminates findings on global power relations, security policy, development issues, international economics and Norwegian foreign policy.
