Abstract
ABSTRACT This study critically assesses security dynamics in developing nations, centering on water scarcity in Iraq. It challenges the reductionist perspective that equates security solely with the absence of military threats, positing instead that the governing body itself can constitute an existential threat to the state. Many developing countries, typified by a myopic conception of security, have engendered internal insecurity. Iraq exemplifies this paradigm, where successive ruling elites, marked by military adventurism and administrative incompetence, directly precipitate water scarcity. The nation’s ominous trajectory results from governmental prioritization of external threats over essential societal well-being. This article elucidates the intricate interplay between governance priorities and societal vulnerabilities, advocating for a more comprehensive understanding of security that transcends conventional militaristic frameworks. The analysis underscores the urgent need for recalibrating security paradigms in developing countries to address internal threats emanating from governmental neglect and skewed priorities.
