Reconstructing the Iraqi Political System The Post-Saddam Era: The Role of the United States and the Coalition Forces
Abstract: The literature
review about post-Saddam political system deals largely with the role of the
United States and the coalition forces in establishing and stabilizing the
country’s political system and its proper functioning. However, works referring
to the institutions, processes and procedures of the political system are very
few. There are occasional references to Iraqi politics, but there are no many
in-depth studies providing an analysis of the nature of the political system
and its expected outcomes. The few works in the area do not differentiate
between the three dominant ethnic groups and their concerns vis-à-vis the
country’s internal organization and its future. Placing them in the same box as
is often done is tantamount to equalizing centrifugal and centripetal forces,
ignoring current history and obstructions created by colonial power.
