| The current research investigates the implicatures of the complex and multifaceted landscape of Iraq in Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone. It spotlights the impact of the then present political, economic, and social interfaces that have molded the situation of post-war Iraq. Moreover, this research probes deep into the implicatures behind the political decisions made at the time and their influence upon the lives of the Iraqi people. It will highlight the terrible consequences of the decisions of waging wars against the Iraqi people who has had to pay a dear price for a crime it has not committed. The research has tackled the relationship between the co-operative principle and what has not been said in the work under scrutiny, the implicatures of the invisible meanings in this work and it has undertaken the American occupation of Iraq via spotlighting the dynamics at play in the Green Zone and beyond.

It has focused upon implicature in policy reactions, in in economic reform strategies, in public statements on security, in political negotiations, in security communication, in post-war governance promises, in decision-making dynamics and in reactions to foreign occupation. | ||
