Iraq Votes 2018: Election Mobilization Strategies
This pre-election paper focuses on electoral mobilization strategies at the central government level
Abstract
This pre-election paper focuses on electoral mobilization strategies at the central government level in Baghdad, in Shia provinces in the south, in recently liberated areas, and in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. The strategies provide glimpses not only into the way Iraqi politicians attempt to claim popular legitimacy, but more critically, into the country’s political environment and trajectory after the elections. The paper then concludes with an analysis of the key trends, changes and challenges in these elections, and the impact they may have on Iraq’s political future.
