Global Axess 2019 – Emma Sky on The age of monsters

The architects of the Iraqi war predicted that Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship would be replaced with a thriving democracy, which would eventually stabilize the entire Middle East and strengthen the bond with the only democracy in the region. 15 years later, the Middle East is plagued by sectarianism and civil war, the balance of power has shifted to Iran’s advantage and Russia has strengthened its influence at the expense of the United States. How did this happen and what does the future look like for the region?Niklas Ekdahl talks with Emma Sky, chair of the Yale University World Fellows program and Senior Fellow at the Jackson Institute of International Affairs. Sky worked on the reconstruction of Iraq in 2003-2004 and was political adviser to US General Ray Odierno from 2007-2010.
