Syria's Spillover on Iraq: State Resilience.

The article focuses on the increased contestation in Iraq as a spillover effect of the war in Syria. Topics covered include how the war has caused the proliferation of militias, refugee flows and Kurdish transnationalism, all of which challenge Iraq's sovereignty, Iraq's resilience despite Syria's spillover and its sovereignty-undermining effects, and the commitment of regional actors and the local populations to Iraq's territorial integrity.
