Previously, he was lecturer at the Department of Law, Governance and International Rela- tions at the London Metropolitan University, Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) in New York and Research Fellow at the School of Politics and Sociology of the Birkbeck College at the University of London. A sociologist by training, Dr Jabbar was also Director of the Iraq Cultural Forum (ICF), a research group working in conjunction with Birkbeck College and the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London. His publications include The Shi’ite Movement in Iraq (2003), Tribes and Power in the Middle East (2002) and Ayatol- lahs, Sufis and Ideologues (2002), all published by Saqi Books, London. He is a contributor to the Middle East Research and Information Project (MERIP) and has authored reports for the International Crisis Group (ICG).
The Iraq Institute for Strategic Studies has been established to promote, conduct, and foster research and study relating to current political, economic, and social developments in Iraq.
IIST is an effort by Iraqi academics committed to research, publication, and education, in the fields of transitional politics, human rights, secularism, and more generally, ‘Iraq Studies’. Efforts have been geared to promoting a non-violent, rights-based, tolerant and democratic civic culture in Iraq, and building new civil society and governance organizations.
The Institute has published over 120 books and booklets on a wide-range of contemporary Iraqi issues (social and political sciences).
Over 400 students have graduated from the institute since its foundation in 2006.
