The Balance of the Iraqi Elections ... Between Consensus and Entitlement.

Abstract

Abstract: Among the countries that moved to democracy after a long submission under dictatorships that tended towards tyranny is Iraq. As is well known, the modern Iraqi state, which was born in 1921, adopted the democratic principle of governance, but the stage of democratic transformation in Iraq at that time was interrupted by many problems and distortions, so the military eliminated it in 1958. And the military governments will continue to rule the country until 2003. Where a foreign military invasion ended the rule of the military in Iraq, which descended from autocracy to tyranny, and a civil system of government, democratic in principle, and a federal state would be established on its ruins. And let the elections begin in 2005 in an atmosphere of pluralism, after the last pluralist elections in the country in 1954.
