The Chaos of Constitutional System and Political Failure in Iraq

This study attempts to present and analyze the chaotic nature of the Iraqi constitutional system since 2005 and its impact on the political-economic and social crises. The study also attempts to explore sectarian problems and political quotas that emerged due to the existence of a deep gap between the culture of reactionary parties that do not believe in the democratic modern state, the philosophy of liberal democracy, institutionalism, the separation of powers, or respect for human rights.

The Chaos of Constitutional System and Political Failure in Iraq
 

 

 

 

Introduction

 

The political life in Iraq was characterized by sectarian inclusiveness, which ruled the political system after 2003. Instead of realizing the promises of building a democratic system that guarantees human rights, freedom of expression, and the state of the citizen, the monopoly of power by the advocacy parties emerged as a model for political tyranny and the monopoly of economic resources. Thus, the political system ignored the concept of the neutrality of state institutions in democratic systems, that is, to be equal among all classes, religions, sects, races, nationalities, and cultures, with no interference in the affairs of political parties, ensuring justice in political, and economic participation, and granting the right to choose political and intellectual trends within the democratic civil state.
