تحديات الدولة و الهوية الوطنية في العراق بعد الغزو الأمريكي 2003

Abstract EN

Despite the establishment of a "modern state" in Iraq since 1921, under a monarchy and later under a republican rule, this state did not succeed in integrating the ethnic, religious, sectarian and tribal social components into a single melting pot of citizenship governed by the Iraqi national identity.

Rather, the inherited traditionalist components remained present in the administration of the Iraqi state and its social formations for decades.

This legacy quickly emerged strongly after the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the constitution, system of government, and political forces that emerged from this invasion were dominated by religious, sectarian, ethnic, and tribal polarization, and the dominance of sectarian interests and loyalties over the public interest and national identity.
