The Ethnic Dimension in the Formations of Federal Regions: an analytical study of the Iraqi model

Abstract

The phenomenon of ethnic conflict is one of the important issues that have emerged not only at the internal level but also in the international arena in recent decades, due to the increase of ethnicities and conflicts over many economic, political, social and cultural issues and demands.. especially in countries that chose federalism as a form of co-existence. Hence, the introduction of federalism seems at first sight to be a model or logical solution to the problem of ethnicity in multiple societies. And has contributed to the inclusion of the issue of ethnicity as a global issue on the top priorities of the issues of the international community because of the effects not only at the internal level of States, but also at the global level. Although the application of the federal system in Iraq has become possible from a constitutional and legal point of law The Iraqi State Administration for the transitional phase and the end of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq for the year 2005, but from the political side and realistic attempts to form the provinces in Iraq, many of the fears and obstacles led to the failure of more than a legal and constitutional attempt by the province of And the failure to address the problem of ethnicities in Iraq even after the entry into force of the 2005 Constitution and the adoption of the federal system, necessarily requires us to search for alternative solutions to the problem of ethnicities in Iraq, the most important of which is the thesis on the possibility of forming a federal province in Iraq on purely ethnic grounds. This study attempts to study the ethnic exclusion of the formation of these territories in Iraq.
