Assessment of Failed Federalism in Iraq

Akreyi investigates the development of federal relations in Iraq from the adoption of the new Federal Constitution in 2005 to the Kurdistan independence referendum in 2017. The book highlights the dysfunctionality of the Iraqi federal system even after the independence referendum and shows the true picture of the key issues between the Kurdistan Region and the Iraqi government in Baghdad. This informative content is presented in an easy-to-grasp manner, originating primarily from face-to-face interviews with relevant elites and decision-makers in Iraq as well as foreign diplomats. A valuable source for academics, researchers, journalists, and students of politics and international relations at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in all universities, especially in the West and Middle East.
