I can answer any question that deals with geopolitics, political stability and the role of big powers in the Middle East. My strongest background deals with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but I have a good knowledge of the region going from the Caucasus to Egypt, the Arabic Peninsula and Central Asia. Even if your question does not directly deal with this, I will try to answer it anyway.

Israel/Middle East (News & Politics) - Future state of Iraq

Expert: Pierre-Alexandre De Bavay M.A. - 10/6/2009

Question
If the state of Iraq breaks into three separate states (Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish), what responsibilities do these new states acquire?

Answer
Hi Dustin,

If Iraq splits into three independent states, each part will very probabely gain every political aspects of modern states nowadays. This includes: military, economic, judiciary, social, etc. Now in the case of such a scenario, this would not prevent a part of Iraq to become part of another country. Shia part going to Iran for example. In that case, such as state would become dependant on another or would only have a status of region instead of state.

Hope this helps.
