Mechanisms for Enhancing Good Governance in the Performance of Provincial Councils in Iraq after 2005

Abstract

Achieving good governance in the Iraqi provincial councils is linked to the availability of mechanisms that are necessary to confront weakness, as their absence leads to the absence of good governance, and those mechanisms are represented by the rule of law, institutional work, integrity, transparency, equality, participation, political stability, vision (strategy) that the transformations that occurred in Iraq after 2003.

It has led to many changes, as it relied on decentralization in the functions of governance and administration, as well as changes in the scope of the political, legal, constitutional, and administrative system, where the form of a state transformed from a simple to a complex state, until the state of Iraq did not reach maturity in governance, because it faced many obstacles that represented (Political, social, legal, economic, and security) all of which led to the ruling being far from the basic principles of good governance. Therefore, these councils will be far from the goal for which they were found, so it requires eliminating these obstacles, which is the correct and most important step in order to strengthen the role of Good governance in the work of the provincial councils, and then work on applying the mechanisms that help us reach rationality in governance at the local level and then at the national level.
