  • Consociationalism in Iraq After 2003
    Consociationalism in Iraq after 2003 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Politics and International Relations School of Politics, Economics and International Relations Ibrahim Aziz September 2017 Abstract This thesis explores whether Iraq was a consociational democracy both formally as well as in practice from 2003 to 2014. Consociational theories suggest that democracies that encompass the consociational principles of proportional representation, autonomy, power sharing government, and the protection of key community interests by mutual veto provisions are more stable. Consequently, consociational principles have frequently been promoted in conflict-affected environments, including in Iraq. The thesis examines how and to what extent each of these elements is reflected in the constitution, and in government practice in Iraq. The analysis is divided chronologically into three parts: the US-led occupation and drafting of the constitution (2003 – 2005), the first election and the continued US military presence (2005-2010), and the period after the second election and the withdrawal of coalition forces (2010-2014). The thesis examines the consociational character of Iraq’s institutions and the degree of its implementation in the period in question through the analysis of key legal texts, and process tracing informed by primary documentary and news sources, as well as extensive elite interviews. On the basis of this empirical investigation, it finds four things. First, consociationalism is only partially reflected in the formal, constitutional provisions for Iraq’s governing institutions. Important practices, such as power sharing, have no constitutional basis in Iraq, and are at best implicit. Despite this, they are at times a prominent aspect of governance practice in Iraq, but at other times (e.g.

Washington’s sway over Iraq weakens further as a consequence of Iraq’s refusal to host U.S troops who withdrew from Syria, which was followed by a non-binding resolution in parliament calling for a withdrawal of U.S.

  • Iraqi Shi'a Islamist Parties' Responses to the Protest
    1 Author Kamaran M. Palani Date 10 July 2020 IRAQI SHI’A ISLAMIST PARTIES’ RESPONSES TO THE PROTEST MOVEMENT POLITICAL ISLAM MOVEMENTS IN THE SECOND WAVE OF ARAB UPRISINGS Contents INTRODUCTION 3 MAPPING THE SHI’A ISLAMIST PARTIES AND GROUPS 4 SHI’A ISLAMISTS’ RESPONSES TO THE PROTEST MOVEMENT 5 IMPLICATIONS FOR IRAQ’S POLITICAL SYSTEM AND STABILITY 8 CONCLUSION 11 ENDNOTES 12 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 13 ABOUT AL SHARQ STRATEGIC RESEARCH 13 Iraqi Shi’a Islamist parties’ responses to the protest movement 3 Introduction Since October 2019, mass demonstrations have been held in Iraq demanding better living conditions, independence from regional and global powers, an end to corruption and eventually the downfall of the entire political system in place in Iraq since the 2003 US-led invasion. The protesters are mostly Shi’a youth, students and civil society activists from the majority-Shi’a provinces of Baghdad, Basra, Najaf, Karbala and Nasiriyah. Since the protests began, nearly 700 people have been killed, and over 30,000 injured,1 the vast majority of whom are from the Shi’ite community.2 In this context, Shi’a Islamist parties have viewed the protest movement as an existential threat to their power, mainly because of the protests’ rejection of a system which Shi’a Islamist parties have played a significant role in both creating and maintaining. For this reason, with the exception of the Sadrist Movement (as explained below), Shi’a Islamists’ interests have been in complete conflict with the demands of the protests. Iraqi Shi’a Islamist parties’ responses to the protest movement Mapping the Shi’a Islamist parties and groups In addition to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who is “revered by all parties as 4 a higher moral guide and sometimes as the ultimate informal authority”,3 there are six groups or leaders who exert significant influence over Iraqi Shi’a politics.

Darrell Strovers A Thesis in the Field of International Relations for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2020 © 2020 Darrell Strovers Abstract Rife with sectarian division in a contentious region, and at the center of numerous global conflicts, the nation of Iraq is a geopolitical paradox in many ways. This paper examines modern-day Iraq on local, regional, and international levels while also exploring the question of whether the struggling country is destined to remain a single nation or would be more viable if split into two or even three separate states. After thorough analysis of each possible outcome, I conclude that a two-state solution is the most stable option, in which Iraqi Kurdistan secedes from the rest of the country, and rival Sunni- and Shi’a-majority regions reunite under new government leadership.
