Abstract:
The subject of the joining of Iraq to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been largely debated and discussed on the academic and public levels, as well as on the local newspapers and on the local level. There is still a condition of disagreement between the two parties of the supporters and opponents , the first party who see that the joining of Iraq to the organization is very important to develop its economy and to obtain privileges which are submitted by the organization , while the second one see that the joining to the organization doesn't help to obtain privileges to the economy, but to bring restrictions , commitments and interests to it for the developed countries, and that may overwhelm it without obtaining anything due to its economic condition and the structural imbalances in it. Due to all that, the research here highlights on the potential chances, costs and challenges that may result in the Iraqi economy due to its joining to the organization. According to the foregoing, the research supposes that the fusion of Iraqi economy with the global one by joining to the WTO would result economic gains that could not exceed the possible negative effects under its current economic condition, and it may not achieve what is hoped to fix the imbalances in the economy and to accelerate the development process. The research was divided into three chapters to reach to proof its aim and supposition, the first chapter concerns with the theoretical framework of the WTO. The second chapter concerns with the discussing and analyzing the impact of WTO policy on its members. While the third chapter concerns with the reality of the Iraqi economy and the potential economic, social and political impacts of the joining of Iraq to the WTO. One of the most important founds of this theses is that the potential positive impacts by joining to the WTO are much less than the potential negative ones ,due to the lack of Iraq's possession of the comparative advantage goods to compete on the global level except the crude oil which is exempted of the WTO agreements.
