“…Otherwise, it should be filled out with borrowing. Some scholars see the level of public debt in the Middle East, including Iraq, in the last decade or so as weakness of, even a burden on, the state ) Murray, 2008(, and there are several reasons for accumulating further. With the current trend, the government has no sufficient capacity to pay back the borrowed money.…”

This study examines the measuring and analyzing selected determinants of public debt in Iraq from 2004 to 2019. It first reviews the major events that led to deterioration of the state’s capacity in preventing risky borrow- ings before the fall of the Ba’ath regime. It then turns to the period under study, and applies the Fully Modified OLS )FMOLS( cointegration framework based on data from the central bank of Iraq. The main results show that public debt has been caused by a mixture of factors including a small share of non-oil revenue, increasing operational expenditure at the expense of investment expenditure by the government, and the ISIS attack. It also touches on the link between sectarianism and public debt, and explores the burden of debt services on ac- cumulating public debt. It concludes that there is always a risk of increasing budget deficit; thus, a proper plan for managing public debt is vital to prevent a debt default.

Unsettling Frontiers: Property, Empire, and Race in Denis Johnson’s Train Dreams

This article explores the 'unsettling' qualities of American writer Denis Johnson's 2011 novella, Train Dreams. It explores the book's engagement with environmental crises and indigenous cosmologies to show how the metaphysical insecurities, common to much of Johnson's fiction, come in this context to challenge the very concept of American nationhood itself-or as the novella's title parodies, the 'American Dream'. Train Dreams unsettles what I call the narrative infrastructures undergirding the story of the American frontier-becoming-nation-state: the transcontinental railroads, and the colonial property regimes that those railroads both pursued and opened up. In three central sections, the article explores Johnson's unsettling of notions of property, then empire, and finally race. Through these readings, it shows how the novella finds its way to an indigenous critique of America as a settler colonial state. While previous critical discussions of the 'unsettling' qualities of Johnson's work have until now meant that word affectively, in this article my aim is therefore to emphasise its decolonizing momentum as well.
