Overview

Akreyi investigates the development of federal relations in Iraq from the adoption of the new Federal Constitution in 2005 to the Kurdistan independence referendum in 2017.

This informative content is presented in an easy-to-grasp manner, originating primarily from face-to-face interviews with relevant elites and decision-makers in Iraq as well as foreign diplomats. A valuable source for academics, researchers, journalists, and students of politics and international relations at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in all universities, especially in the West and Middle East.
