Civil society organizations and their impact on the tribal character in the city of Kut for the period 2014-2025

Abstract

The role of civil society organizations in building democracy and its impact on tribal structures, especially in the city of Kut, is such that these organizations cannot effectively fulfill their role because these communities suffer from the remnants of despotism and the concentration of power in the hands of certain groups. There are many obstacles preventing the development of civil society organizations and their transformation into democratic institutions capable of contributing to the unified democratic and tribal structure and their clear influence in building tribal relations. Civil society organizations in Iraq in general are going through a very difficult and complex transitional phase today. Global and international factors, internal economic, social and political variables, and intellectual and cultural currents are all intertwined in it. The scope of organized civil society in Iraq has expanded. However, civil society as a whole suffers from many restrictions and factors resulting from the failure of democratic transition in Iraq and the city of Kut in particular.
