External intervention in Iraq has been widely criticised bypractitioners and academics: The armed invasion of the US and its allies in2003 aimed at toppling the Baath Regime and transforming Iraq into ademocratic country. While it succeeded in ending the Baath regime, Iraq isfar from doing well concerning security, economy and political progress.This situation is often represented as at least partly due to the failure ofthe US to integrate local perspectives and to pay attention to local needs.Against that backdrop the paper analyses how local actors – in my casenon-governmental women's organisations – perceive and interact withinternational actors and knowledge frameworks. My empirical data show thatthe assessment of external engagement from a local perspective is far moreambivalent than a binary reading of local vs. external/global as persistentin peace and conflict studies suggests. I break with this binary reading byintroducing three concepts to this debate – relations, heterogeneity andassessment of external actors. Thus, I aim to draw a more nuanced picture ofthe role of external expertises for the Iraqi society as it is perceived bywomen activists
