Abstract
The occupation of Kuwait by Iraqi forces in August 1990 marked the beginning of a regional transformation in the Middle East that would last up until now. That occupation, although basically an issue between the two states, immediately became an international event of primary importance in the short run and also a chain of events triggered by the same event caused the rise of a new regional configuration. During the same years, the world witnessed the transformation of the global system, and experienced new openings that would affect not only the Middle East but also the whole world. As a result, a research on dıe future of Iraq now would have to simultaneously deal with systemic issues at the macro level, and should take into consideration the parameters originating both from within and outside the region. The future of the political regime and the territorial integrity of Iraq will certainly be determined according to a compound result of various factors. Accordingly, this paper seeks to promote a discussion on the future of Iraq vvithin the framework of the above-mentioned approach.
