The tasks of the political elite and their influence on the Iraqi political reality after the year 2003))

Abstract

Abstract                      

    The political elite gains the most influential role among other elites in political work based on the democratic models of contemporary political systems, as it has an advanced position in society by virtue of the role and size of the responsibilities it undertakes. It is described as the elite of elites in the field of political practice and upbringing and instilling national belonging that achieves the comprehensive identity of social components. It also represents one of the pillars of stability and guarantees its effectiveness. The political change in Iraq after the year (2003) led to a number of new manifestations on the part of the institutional structures as well as the cultural frameworks reinforced with democratic values, unlike what preceded the years of change, which was reflected in the depth of the gap between the culture of society and its customs enshrined in its behaviors and what is dictated by the new reality that imposes the existence of effective political bodies and organizations that absorb the manifestations of democratic transition and are able to produce a conscious political elite that realizes the importance of the function for which it was created as an effective means to bridge the gap between the reality of society and the aspirations towards a sound political system capable of promoting the welfare of society and expanding its capabilities. However, in contrast to that, the role of the Iraqi political elite came with slow achievement and not expressing the aspirations of the masses, which was enshrined in many deviations from the path of political treatments and constitutional and institutional foundations, which prompted us to research this problem and identify the sites of failure or constraints on efficient performance, whether in relation to the intellectual and cultural frameworks that guide the political elites or from the side of practical practices that led to the accumulation of crises and the complexity of the solution steps, and then it was proposed A set of treatments that we realize are important in reforming the reality and resuming the role of the political elite in raising the effectiveness of the political system and ensuring its stability, reinforced by rational performance that achieves the desired goals.
