Abstract
Iraq’s military has been and remains the final arbiter of political power, the key to a regime’s survival or its demise. A legacy of military intervention underscores the lack of democratic institutions and processes in modern Iraqi politics and complicates the prospects for a democratic transition after Saddam Hussein. In order to draw the appropriate lessons from the past, political-military relations in modern Iraq should be understood in a broader historical context that takes into account the effects of ideology, colonialism, and dictatorship on Iraq’s political development.
