| description | The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 has substantial regional influences on the international relations
of the Middle East. The war was supposed to bring democracy to Iraq and the whole region. After more
than ten years, the dream of democracy evaporated not just for the region, but even for the Iraq. Instead
the region has faced some negative consequences such as expansion of terrorism and increasing power
competition between regional actors which has presented as a sectarian division between Sunni and Shia in
the Middle East. Shifting power from major actors to the domestic and minor powers is considered as
another impact of the war. The aim of this paper is to discuss these three impacts from perspective of the
international relation theories. The prominence of this research is reflected in the investigating of IR
theories in the real statute such as Iraq war. |
