The match saw a slow start with no notable chances in the first 20 minutes although Qa- tar had more of the ball.

  • Prescription for Power-Sharing in Contested Kirkuk
    RESEARCH PAPER Prescription for Power-Sharing in Contested Kirkuk Nawshirwan Hussein Saaed | Feb 2015 Prescription for Power Sharing in Contested Kirkuk Series: Research Paper Nawshirwan Hussein Saeed | Feb 2015 Copyright © 2015 Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies. All Rights Reserved. ____________________________ The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies is an independent research institute and think tank for the study of history and social sciences, with particular emphasis on the applied social sciences. The Center’s paramount concern is the advancement of Arab societies and states, their cooperation with one another and issues concerning the Arab nation in general. To that end, it seeks to examine and diagnose the situation in the Arab world - states and communities- to analyze social, economic and cultural policies and to provide political analysis, from an Arab perspective. The Center publishes in both Arabic and English in order to make its work accessible to both Arab and non-Arab researchers. Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies PO Box 10277 Street No. 826, Zone 66 Doha, Qatar Tel.: +974 44199777 | Fax: +974 44831651 www.dohainstitute.org Abstract The future stability of Iraq depends on a peaceful resolution to the problem of Kirkuk. This article examines the contested city, and suggests the formation of a consociational democracy as a solution to current political divisions. It argues that a power sharing arrangement based on consociation is crucial to addressing the demands of each group in the city and for maintaining stability and diversity. Distinguishing in this way between corporate and liberal consociations can offer an institutional mechanism to manage and resolve tensions over the city and build a stable government in Kirkuk.
