Abstract

The victory over the so-called Islamic State’s territorial rule presents a chance for the government of Iraq to rebuild its state institutions and re-assert its authority. In this transition, will the Iraqi leadership move past cycles of failure and address the structural problems that perpetuate state weakness and facilitate the emergence of groups like ISIS? To answer this question, this paper analyses the challenges of short-term stabilization programming with longer-term governance reform at the local and national levels. It argues that, without establishing representative and responsive state institutions, the processes of reconciliation and integration will be unsuccessful and the process of peace building and coexistence will not be exist. This paper provides the challenges Iraq faced after ISIS for rebuilding peace among minorities and religious groups, and for coexistence and reconciliation after the myth, thus, the conflicts is going on among minorities and religious groups, the state could not reconciliate the displaced people particularly in Mosul.
