Here is the region, which has often been described as exceptional, and the resilience of authoritarian regimes in it in the face of various economic and social changes, beginning its first steps on the road.

They are security, political and economic challenges, and the security challenge remains the most difficult and most influential, whether due to the transformation of some of those revolutions into civil disputes, in light of regional and international competition, or because of the security vacuum left by the fall, or the shaking of ruling regimes, or the emergence of a new generation of jihadists in a number of countries in the region. All this led to the faltering of the democratization process, and even reversing it .in a reverse direction in some cases The research will attempt to address a problem related to Iraqi national security and the policies followed to ensure a minimum level of it, and it will be divided into three sections. The first section deals with the theoretical aspect of the concept of security and national security.
