The Faculty of Political Science at the University of Baghdad discussed a dissertation entitled ( Challenges of Community Peace in the Post-Conflict Phase: Nineveh Governorate as a Model) by the student “Khairallah Sabhan Abdullah”, supervised by Dr. Husham Ezzulddin Majeed.
The dissertation deals with the process of building social peace in the post-conflict phase, a complex process that requires a long time, and needs concerted efforts at all levels in order to reach appropriate solutions to those causes of conflict and empower the parties of the conflict and obtain their rights, in order to have a state of lasting peace among the social components. Community peace is a process that comes in the immediate post-conflict phase, in order to address the political, security, humanitarian, economic, social, and other aspects of life that were the cause of the conflict, to prevent the conflict from recurring. Otherwise, it is expected that the community peace process will not last for long, in post-conflict phase. The study shows that structural challenges impose themselves strongly on the Iraqi reality, on all political, security, economic, and social levels. The Iraqi government needs to move towards supporting and establishing the societal peace process. This process does not only mean the actual absence of manifestations of violence, but also goes beyond it to the need for comprehensive political, economic, and social development, through concerted political efforts such as establishing the rule of law, the peaceful transfer of power, establishing the values of democracy and peaceful coexistence, as well as security, economic, and social efforts to address problems of society in its entirety.
At the end of the viva, the researcher was awarded a doctorate degree with a grade of high “very good”, Wishing all students success in their academic and practical lives.
