العراقيون و السلطة : دراسة تاريخية سياسية

Abstract EN

In their consciousness of political power, the people's memory of the ruling regimes are an essential element.

Rather, it also crystallizes their dominant practices and customs, the relationships between the ruler and the governed, as well as their patterns of thought and action.

People’s difficult encounters with their rulers will, in one way or another, impact negatively on their .political lives, not just in the past but also in the present and the future As for Iraq, for many decades, its people have had awful experiences with their rulers, most of whom have been subject to the will and rule of foreigners and have not begun to rule by themselves until the last sixty years of its existence.

These bad experiences have left the Iraqi people's understanding of their beliefs, organizations, relationships, and ambitions with deep wounds.

Instead, they have been one of the critical reasons for aborting any attempt that appears to be on its way to a transparent, efficient, and genuine democratic project.

Therefore, the dynamics of the political reality of contemporary Iraq cannot be interpreted in any way without knowing how the political memory of Iraqis crystallized when dealing with an authority that was further complicated and compounded by the vulnerability of successive Iraqi elites and leaders and their failure to bring about a fundamental shift in the interests when political quotas, of building the slate and the citizen Especially after emerged to become the phenomenon controlling the entire political process.
