Question

You have been asked to provide advice about a restructuring of Iraq’s democracy and are asked to consider whether Iraq should have a parliamentary or presidential system as well as the nature of the electoral system for the country. You are reminded that Iraq is about 97% Muslim, of whom 64% are Shi’a and 35% are Sunni, and that the country also includes a sizeable and nationalistic Kurdish population that has long sought greater political autonomy and unity with other Kurdish groups in neighboring states. Summarize the advice you might give?

Answer 1

Answer: After the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussain, Iraq is facing socio-political unrest due to war like situation in the region. In Iraq the majority of the population is Shia, and Sunnis and Kurdish are minorities with other regiónal groups In order to develop Iraq as a peaceful and successful Democratic country, the government should try to promote nationalism to reduce frictions between different sects. They can also promote cultural diversity and try to make common ground between different sects like Shia and Sunni. Voting is very important for people of any Democratic country. Therefore impartial and smooth voting should also be done.
