      abstract = {A critical question surrounding the withdrawal of U.S.  forces from Iraq is Iraq's internal security and stability.  Although the U.S. withdrawal plan is designed with care to  avoid weakening Iraq's security, the end of U.S. occupation  may alter the strategies of the main Iraqi political  actors, each of which has enough armed power to be able to  shatter Iraq's domestic peace. In view of the potential for  insecurity in Iraq, the United States cannot afford to take  a passive or reactive stance. To anticipate dangers and act  purposefully, U.S. policy-makers need a dynamic analytic  framework with which to examine the shifting motivations  and capabilities of the actors that affect Iraq's security.  This monograph offers such a framework.},
