| Abstract | ||
| Social coexistence and integration in Iraq are two basic things to build up a modern civil state that can end violent extremism and the crises that storm this state. In order to draw a policy to end violent extremism we should analyze the situation of the political discourse the subject employ in Iraq. This subject exists and moves within a sectarian and tribal pattern. This study draws a comparative analysis of two political subjects in Iraq, namely; Noori Al-Maliki and Saleem Al-Joubori.The study aims to draw a policy to a common life for all members of the society, reaching to the state of social integration. This study shall deal with an example of the legislative power, namely; the political discourse before the 2018 elections by comparing a speech of Noori Al-Maliki with another by Saleem Al-Joubori.The methodology used in drawing public policies and analyze political discourse is theoretical analysis concerned with drawing a strategy that can help in decision makers and the political and social elite to find solutions to social crises. We also used discursive content analysis to identify the causes of extremism.As a result of this analysis a table was devised to show the goals that are supposed to be used to construct a coherent society. We proposed a suitable strategy to achieve these goals. The role that decision makers are supposed to carry is the translation of these policies into concrete work plans and, then, issue and draw the applied plans in the various sectors of the state.We introduced aimed suggestions that activate the common language and goals in Iraq and present criteria to figure out solutions that help in achieving moderation in political discourse through the emphasis on the importance of sharing democracy, separation of religion from state, and emphasis on the efficiency of a technocratic government functioning according to the principles of good governance. We also called the religious and symbolic elites to orient and monitor the political discourse by establishing a national agency to counter violent extremism. One of the most important solutions this study presents is admitting the principle of peaceful alternation of power which is based on admitting the possibility of exchanging positions between the government and resistance. The rotation of power between government and resistance . This can lead to a regeneration of political eleites in power which can encourage these elites to work with integrity to serve the popular base such as not taking advantage of power for personal interests. Also power should be based on constitution and shackled by necessity. The constitution, as such, can fence legally the ruling agencies as a sort of control. Otherwise they may loose their legal existence and become material oppressive procedures. | ||
