Baghdad: Haider Al-Jaber
Everyone agrees that the economy is the main driver of politics, and that political understandings are the result of a previous economic understanding. Observers summarized Iraq's crises as primarily economic, and that obstructing the provision of services is behind political differences.
The Director of the Center for Strategic Thinking, Dr. Ihsan Al-Shammari, supports the idea of regional economic integration away from political differences, stressing that it is a global positive trend.
Al-Shammari said to "Al-Sabah": "Economic integration according to the new philosophy of foreign policy that relies on networking economic, commercial and investment interests to create alliances between countries; contributes greatly to mitigating political intersections between countries," and pointed to the direction of the region.
And he indicated that "the understandings that took place recently are political and will be further strengthened if there is economic integration among the countries of the region as a whole." From the countries of the region towards groups such as the (Group of Twenty), (Brexit) and (Shanghai), and this economic integration greatly enhances the creation of space for understandings, and the economy has a major role in drawing up foreign policy for most countries.
For his part, academic and writer Dr. Mujasha' Al-Tamimi stressed that "the economy is affected by politics," calling on the Iraqi government to invest in the opportunity for calm in the region to address many of the economic problems it suffers from.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Sabah: “Economic integration is greatly affected by political intersections, because political stability affects greatly and directly in developing the economic movement.” It may have the most prominent and fastest impact, not only in the two countries, but also in the economies of the Gulf region and the Middle East."
Al-Tamimi called on the Iraqi government to "invest the opportunity to address many of the economic problems that Iraq's economy suffers from, and to reactivate the cooperation agreements that Iraq signed, whether with Tehran or Riyadh and others in the field of economy, trade and investment, because the economic impact is the most rapid and clear in the absence of political intersections.
He added, "We need economic stability because it has become clear the direct impact of integration in the region, which will be an important entry point for achieving political stability, and vice versa as well." He pointed out, "the importance of economic stability, which stems from the fact that it leads to achieving full employment of the available economic resources (material and human). ), and avoiding major changes in the general level of prices while maintaining an appropriate real growth rate in the national product.
In turn, political analyst Hamid Al-Kaabi preferred economic integration with the presence of a suitable environment, stressing that this integration has become an urgent international necessity.
Al-Kaabi told Al-Sabah: “One of the axioms of economic work is that work is not integrated except in light of the existence of an appropriate, consistent and harmonious environment, otherwise the economic work will be as if it passes through a minefield.” He added that “talking about integration is one thing, and individual work is something else. In light of the data of economics and the data of technological progress that made the world a big house and not a village, we see integration has become an urgent necessity that no country is indispensable for
. For China to be one of the leaders of the new world, and we see clearly that China needed to integrate with dozens of countries, but rather strives to complement the infrastructure of other countries for its strategic interest. Projects stop integrating because of political incompatibility or political difference.
Al-Kaabi gave an example of the Syrian war, "which has become a realistic example that the supply of natural gas to Europe, and due to the lack of agreement between the parties, led to the outbreak of the Syrian war, and therefore, due to the failure to overthrow the regime, led to the cessation of the gas project to Europe," and stressed that "The path of integration passes through understandings and partnerships. Otherwise, individual action remains the master of the situation in this world."
