Political Dynamics in Iraq and Syria

This chapter explores the evolving political landscape in Iraq, focusing on the interplay between its major political parties and the rise of a third party challenging the status quo. It examines the implications of regional developments, particularly in Syria, for Kurdish governance and inclusion, while also addressing the challenges facing the Syrian population in their quest for stability. The dialogue highlights the potential for international dialogue, particularly between the U.S. and Iran, to contribute to positive outcomes in an increasingly complex geopolitical environment.
