Abstract
20 years on from the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq, this article offers a critical reflection on the evolution of the worldviews, norms and policies informing the international dimension of the intervention, as well as both the local and international repercussions thereof. It demonstrates how international policies were formulated with little consideration for the needs of Iraqis, but were instead informed by international agendas. Nonetheless, the adaptation and failures of policies on the ground in Iraq have influenced wider international agendas.
