Iraq after the Surge, a set of two companion reports from the International Crisis Group, examines the security and political aspects of the surge. The New Sunni Landscape, uniquely based on extensive interviews with insurgents, describes the sweeping changes affecting Sunni tribes, al-Qaeda in Iraq and the insurgency. The Need for a New Political Strategy analyses reasons for the current deadlock and suggests a way forward. Both point to the importance of devising a different approach that focuses on pressuring the Iraqi government to agree to political compromise, engaging in negotiations with a fuller range of Iraqi actors, including still-active insurgents, and altering the regional climate.
