On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the occupation of Iraq, the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies organizes an international academic conference between April 10 and 11, 2013. The conference titled "The International and Regional Repercussions of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq and the Impact of Occupation on Iraq's Structure and Future" will bring together a select group of scholars, academics and researchers.

The papers that will be presented at the conference will attempt to examine the real changes caused by the occupation of Iraq, the promotion of divisiveness along sectarian and ethnic lines, and the repercussions of the invasion of Iraq on international and regional power balances and its implications on the political, economic, and social levels. Additionally, the papers will seek to explore future prospects and anticipate the coming shifts in the situation in Iraq.

Peer-reviewed papers presented at the conference, will be in both Arabic and English.
