Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the impacts and relationships between the nature of emerging political parties and the problem of institutional weakness in the Kurdistan Region. It seeks to understand how political parties that have emerged from non-democratic systems perceive and interact with political institutions, and how this influences the process of institutionalization in the future. It argues that emerging political parties tend to have a negative impact on the institutionalization. Unlike previous studies, this one emphasizes the importance of the political environment of emerging political parties and their perceptions towards political institutions, rather than solely analyzing party systems. Through a desk study and analysis of literature on political parties, institutionalization criteria by Samuel Huntington, and a comparative approach, the article concludes that in developing countries and governments such as the Kurdistan Region, political parties that emerge from totalitarian environments often view themselves as superior and stronger than political institutions when they take control and assume power. This leads to abnormal relationships between the parties and weakens the institutionalization process. The study highlights the need for effective political will to address this complex situation.
