Description
Summary:Chapter 3 deals with federalism and the Kurdish armed forces, Chapter 4 with the KRG's inter- national foreign policy, Chapter 5 (guest- authored by Francis Owtram) with the federalization of oil and natural resources, Chapter 6 with the "peculiarities of Iraqi constitutionalism that combines the princi- ples of Islam and liberal democracy in one constitutional system .. ."
