Identity wars: collective identity building in insurgency and counterinsurgency/ Heather S Gregg - 2020

This article draws from theoretical work on identity building to outline how collective identities are constructed and how they shape human behavior. It considers the U.S. led operations in Iraq from 2003-2011, and compares these efforts to the emergence of Sunni Islamist insurgencies in Iraq to investigate how insurgents used identity building.
