Iraqi politics have appeared deadlocked for a long time. This week, the Iraqi Parliament approved important legislation. Does this portend a new, more productive phase in Iraqi politics? Or will things get stuck again because of sectarian and ethnic division? Fresh from dozens of interviews with Iraqi political leaders, Rend al-Rahim and Daniel Serwer will discuss new developments on the Iraqi political scene, while Jason Gluck will draw upon his recent work with Iraqi parliamentarians to help frame these legislative accomplishments in the broader political landscape.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani met last week with U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House as part of a weeklong visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations. The visit occurred amid several historic anniversaries and dangerous developments in the Middle East. April marks the 21st anniversary of the toppling of Saddam Hussein. Since 2003, the U.S.-Iraq relationship has witnessed many ups and downs. Even as tensions persist, particularly in relation to the U.S. troop presence in the country, al-Sudani’s visit — which featured the largest delegation Iraqis have brought to Washington — demonstrates Iraqi will to start a new chapter in the strategic partnership that goes beyond security.

On December 18, Iraqis will elect members of the provincial councils, the highest oversight bodies of subnational government and key providers of public services. The elections are the first at the provincial level in over a decade and come in the wake of the 2019 anti-government protests that resulted in the dissolution of the provincial councils following demands from the protesters who accused them of corruption. Recent findings from the U.S. Institute of Peace’s Conflict and Stabilization Monitoring Framework in Nineveh Province reveal that candidates are facing a distrustful electorate that is lacking confidence in state institutions.
