التعددية الحزبية في العراق في ظل غياب قانون الأحزاب

الملخص EN

Today Iraq witnesses a democratic process and a trend towards party plurality after a long-lasting-35-year-old experience of centralization and hegemony of one-party-system.

After the fall of the Iraqi regime in 2003 , there emerged a political interaction that establishes various political organizations and movements.

Since 2003, there appeared parties and organizational structures under various nominals: Islamic, secular, some parties are large and powerful, some are weak and not powerful, some have a wide public basis , some have not, some are familiar to the Iraqis having historyand political experience by working with the opposition , some did not appear until 2003.

The flaw of the party plurality in Iraq is that it is still subject to the law of parties and political institutes(number97)2004 issued by temporary coalition authority.

Yet, there is no Iraqi law of parties, One reason for the delay of its endorsement is the sensitive nature of this law and its effect on political parties in the country.

The success of the political process in Iraq and the ability to build a democratic political system demands a substantial party plurality that owns legal restraints organizing its work and defining its existence to assist in establishing stable and continuous party plurality for the party system in Iraq.
