Master’s Thesis Discussion at the College of Political Sciences, Al-Nahrain University

The College of Political Sciences at Al-Nahrain University held a discussion of a master’s thesis titled “The Diplomacy of Balance and Its Role in Developing Iraq’s Foreign Relations After 2022” presented by student Asmaa Samir Sami.

The discussion committee consisted of Professors Dr. Salman Ali Hussein (Chairman), Dr. Ahmed Abdul Amir Khudhair (Member), Assistant Professor Dr. Atarid Awad Abdul Hamid (Member), and Dr. Shaimaa Adel Fadil (Member and Supervisor).

The thesis aimed to analyze the level of adaptation of Iraqi foreign policy after 2022 within a balance strategy capable of repositioning, exploring the tools of this strategy, and evaluating its impact on Iraqi external performance.

The study concluded that the diplomacy of balance is not a secondary strategy but a realistic and core option for Iraq in the post-2022 period, requiring important conditions to become a permanent and stable state, including sustained political will, an efficient diplomatic apparatus, and a regional environment and international system that recognizes it as an influential actor.
