The Popular Mobilization Forces: Origins and the Reshaping of the Iraqi State

How did a volunteer paramilitary force become the cornerstone of the modern Iraqi state?

In this definitive study, Raed Al-Hamid—a leading expert in security dynamics—provides an unparalleled analysis of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). Moving beyond the headlines of the war against ISIS, Al-Hamid explores the deeper institutional shift that has fundamentally altered the trajectory of Iraq’s sovereignty and governance.

Inside this groundbreaking book, you will discover:

• The Genesis of Power: A rigorous examination of the religious, political, and security conditions that birthed the PMF in 2014.

• From Crisis to Institution: How the PMF transitioned from an emergency response to a legally recognized, pivotal branch of the Iraqi security apparatus.

• State Reshaping: An analytical deep-dive into how these forces have redefined the balance of power within state institutions and influenced Iraq's regional foreign policy.

Written by a seasoned insider: Leveraging his experience as the Head of Security Studies at the Iraq Center for Studies, a former consultant for the International Crisis Group (ICG), and an expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Al-Hamid delivers a rare blend of field-level insight and strategic academic rigor.

This book is an essential resource for security analysts, political scientists, and anyone seeking to understand the complex future of the Middle East
