Resumo: | In 2003, the United States of America started a reconfiguration process of Iraq’s political-economic structure. After the overthrown of Saddam Hussein, the United Nation Security Council stated that an international coalition should act in Iraq as a Provisional Authority which was led by the USA, whose responsibility was to rebuilding Iraq (Resolution 1483). For 14 months, the USA formally governed and reformed Iraq’s structure, declaring that its objective was to develop a “new Iraq”. The 2005 constitution marked the consolidation of this new political regime, transforming Iraq in a federal and democratic country as aimed by the USA agenda. But how this new framework of statebuilding worked out for Iraq? Despite the effort, almost fifteen years after the USA formal occupation, Iraq remained politically unstable. The maintenance of insurgent groups against international interference, the rise of Islamic State, the resumption of Iraq Kurdistan interest for independence are some examples of today’s political crisis in Iraq. This paper aims to present how USA executed the reformulation of Iraqi political structure since 2003: changing the political regime, prohibiting any Baath affiliation and action in Iraq’s political theater, and articulating the rise of political partiesthat historically opposed Baath’s government. |

The United States influence in Iraq’s post-Saddam reconfiguration of power:: The maintenance of instability besides structural changesIn 2003, the United States of America started a reconfiguration process of Iraq’s political-economic structure. After the overthrown of Saddam Hussein, the United Nation Security Council stated that an international coalition should act in Iraq as a Provisional Authority which was led by the USA, whose responsibility was to rebuilding Iraq (Resolution 1483). For 14 months, the USA formally governed and reformed Iraq’s structure, declaring that its objective was to develop a “new Iraq”. The 2005 constitution marked the consolidation of this new political regime, transforming Iraq in a federal and democratic country as aimed by the USA agenda. But how this new framework of statebuilding worked out for Iraq? Despite the effort, almost fifteen years after the USA formal occupation, Iraq remained politically unstable. The maintenance of insurgent groups against international interference, the rise of Islamic State, the resumption of Iraq Kurdistan interest for independence are some examples of today’s political crisis in Iraq. This paper aims to present how USA executed the reformulation of Iraqi political structure since 2003: changing the political regime, prohibiting any Baath affiliation and action in Iraq’s political theater, and articulating the rise of political partiesthat historically opposed Baath’s government.Em 2003, os EUA iniciaram um processo de reconfiguração da estrutura político-econômica do Iraque. Depois de depor Saddam Hussein, o Conselho de Segurança da ONU declarou que uma coalizão internacional deveria atuar no Iraque como uma Autoridade Provisória, a qual foi liderada pelos EUA com a responsabilidade de reconstruir o Iraque (Resolução 1483). Por 14 meses, os EUA formalmente governaram e reformaram a estrutura iraquiana, declarando que seu principal objetivo era desenvolver um “novo Iraque”. A constituição de 2005 marcou a consolidação desse processo, transformando o Iraque em uma federaçãodemocrática conforme orientado pela agenda norte-americana. Mas como essa nova estrutura de reconstrução estatal funcionou para o Iraque? Apesar dos esforços, quinze anos após a ocupação formal, o Iraque permaneceu politicamente instável. A manutenção de grupos insurgentes contra a interferência internacional, a emergência do Estado Islâmico, a retomada do interesse por independência por parte do Curdistão Iraquiano são alguns exemplos dessa crise política contemporânea. Pretende-se então, apresentar como os EUA executaram a reformulação da estrutura política iraquiana desde 2003: mudando o regime político, proibindo qualquer afiliação e ação do Partido Baath na política, e articulando a ascensão de partidos políticos historicamente opostos ao governo Baath por quase quarenta anos.Associação Brasileira de Relações Internacionais (ABRI)2019-11-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://www.cartainternacional.abri.org.br/Carta/article/view/90310.21530/ci.v14n3.2019.903Carta Internacional; Vol. 14 No. 3 (2019): Carta InternacionalCarta Internacional; Vol. 14 Núm. 3 (2019): Carta InternacionalCarta Internacional; v. 14 n. 3 (2019): Carta Internacional2526-903810.21530/ci.v14n3.2019reponame:Carta Internacional (Belo Horizonte.
