Barnes, D. ORCID: 0000-0002-2814-5100 (2020). A Separate Peace? Reconsidering Post-conflict Military Occupation. British Journal for Military History, 6(3), doi: 10.25602/GOLD.bjmh.v6i3.1433

Abstract

This research note makes the case for further historical work comparing the military occupations of Japan and Iraq. Despite serious differences, a comparison of these two related events reveals long-term trends. These include Anglo-American strategic and economic thinking, questions of legitimacy in military occupations, how policy planning works, the problem of interagency rivalry in foreign policy making, and the limitations of advance planning.
