Abstract

Because Iraq is a “Federal State, that is, it is one of the “Complex States of the “Political System”, and the regions in this form of states are characterized as independent units with authority, and they are ruling units that have an independent authority that allows them to exercise certain authority over their citizens within a certain geographical scope, and the competencies of each of the federal authorities are determined And the authorities of the federal regions by the Federal Constitution, which regulates the relationship between the federal government and the governments of the regions, and the regions in the federal state give up part of their internal sovereignty in favor of the federal government and retain the other part, and also give up their external sovereignty in favor of the federal government, and the laws issued by the federal authorities Or decisions within the scope of their constitutional competence that are binding at the level of the federal state, and the laws and decisions issued by the authorities of the regions within the scope of their constitutional competence are binding at the level of the federal region only.

The “Federal Authorities” exercise competencies of a sovereign nature, especially in the areas related to the external affairs of the “Federal State”, in terms of representing (the state abroad, practicing diplomatic work, entering into international agreements, declaring war and peace and joining international organizations).

Therefore, it was necessary to conduct a study of “The Role Of Regions In Building The Political System In The Federal States”, in order to show the role of (Kurdistan Region) in this as a (case study)”, where the problem between the “Federal Government” and the “Regional Government” lies in the lack of commitment to the constitution as the government is trying “Federalism” is to limit the “Authority of the Regional Government” through its attempts to bypass the constitution, retreat from federalism, and tighten its grip on state institutions.

The legitimacy of federation depends on the ways in which the federal system defines borders and authority is distributed. When federation works to meet these demands, it reinforces the belief among some that the community has “Self-Determination” and is able to exercise “Complete Sovereignty”.

The (Kurdistan Region) enjoys the constitutional right and the system of institutions in the region based on (Constitutional Independence, Legislative Independence, Executive Independence, Judicial Independence, and Financial Independence). It plays a major role in building the political system; this is as a result of the role played by those regions in establishing the basics of the establishment of the state, as well as the authorities’ exercise of their authority (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial).
