chattels   Tuesday, March 17, 2020 Review Iraq’s Dysfunctional Democracy

http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2020/03/review-iraqs-dysfunctional-democracy.html

chattels    "…..the new ruling parties were interested in anything other than staying in power and enriching themselves by stealing from the state."

chattels   " ... disillusioned from the use of victimization by the elite, the politicization of deBaathification, the lack of rule of law, questionable elections, a weak state, and corruption."

chattels    " When governments were formed they maintained the ethnosectarian quota system created by the Coalition Provincial Authority. That institutionalized identity politics, and allowed them to split up the state amongst themselves, and create their own fiefs in ministries to rob them."

chattels    ".... Iraq is a dysfunctional state with an intransigent political system."

chattels   "..... Iraq’s Dysfunctional Democracy is an interesting read. It highlights many of the flaws and institutional problems within the Iraqi government. The book isn’t perfect with some distractions along the way, but it’s worth taking a look at to help understand why the new Iraq has consistently failed at good governance."
