The fall of Saddam Hussein's regime may have marked a watershed in
Iraqi history, but to the majority of Iraq's eighteen governorates,
the most dramatic challenges may lie ahead. With the formation of
federal entities south of Kurdistan enabled from 2008, fundamental
changes to Iraq's state structure can be expected over the coming
decade. The parameters of this open-ended process are poorly
understood in the West. There seems to be a widespread belief among
commentators that the federalisation of Iraq will lead, more or
less automatically, to the creation of three large regions based on
Iraq's dominant ethno-religious communities, the Shiite Arabs, the
Sunni Arabs and the Kurds. However, if the Iraqi constitution is
adhered to, such an outcome is actually quite unlikely. According
to the Iraqi charter, ethnicity has no role to play in the
delineation of Iraq's federal map. Instead regions --
geographically defined by the conversion or amalgamation of
existing governorates -- will form the building blocks of the new
Iraq, as has already been exemplified in 2009 and again in early
2010 by attempts to create a separate federal region in Basra. This
volume is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of
regionalism as a political force in contemporary Iraq.
