It is easy for the careful student, even for the non so careful, to notice the effects of propaganda in totalitarian societies and the effects of sloganeering in the capitalist ones. Invented by the social sciences, these media of propaganda have the power to transform the lives of men to an extent that exceeds the power needed to break up an atom

Before we begin with our main topic in this book which is the study of politics and pertinent contemporary systems of governance, I feel it is appropriate here to point out in a passing way to the social sciences, since politics is one of the most ancient branches of the social sciences The social sciences may look, for the nonscrutiniser, less significant than the natural sciences especially in application. The fact however is right the opposite. Application, indeed, of the various branches of the social sciences has proved their efficacy that has in most cases surpassed natural sciences in steering even changing the life and behaviour of contemporary man

Social sciences, from the first glance, are defined as these sciences which give to man or the individual living in a group a central position round which revolve all the groups concerns. In other words, the social sciences examine the political animal to quote Aristotle, and thus they care to analyse the human groups,

The status of theory and application in the social sciences differs from that in the natural sciences. The advancement in the theory in natural sciences is measured by the success of its practical application. With the social sciences, however, the opposite is true as it seems that practical application is much more advanced than the theory. Hence there emerges a conspicuous discrepancy between the efficiency of application of the social sciences and the chaotic state its theory is undergoing. There is for example no unanimous agreement among sociologists about the basic definitions and concepts pertaining to sociology. Every sociologist is using his own jargon and is talking about his own concepts, which would make it difficult for sociologist to communicate and agree. This is so clear that it can be noticed by any student of the heritages of the social and natural scientists. A birds eyes view on social sciences shows that these sciences are less developed, notwithstanding

On first consideration, the word politics seems to be easily definable. We can say, for instance, that it is a topic which tackles political power, which looks into the legitimacy of authority, or which searches for the harmony and conflict of interests, or may be we can say it is the quest of an

Likewise will be inadequate to define the social sciences as the analysis of human groups, where focus is mainly laid first on the group members then on the society, leading to inescapable disturbing and confusing inconsistency and mixing when using terminologies in this field, as McKenzie says It follows therefore that this terminological problematique does apply to our main topic, politics being one of the most important and significant branches of the social sciences. This would call us to wonder: what is politics? What does this word we utter refer to

communities and societies The difference among students of sociology however leads us to say that the notion or concept human group is not that easy to define. We could for instance say that it is a gathering of individuals, but this definition is too broad that it would, for instance, include viewers watching a motion picture in the cinema, which, though not a gathering in the proper sense, can still be considered as a gathering in one way or another

Human socialising is a must, says Ibn Khaldooun, a statement reiterated by wise men saying Man is civil by nature meaning man must societise for being civil, they say, means construction, since God has created man in such a way that he cannot live without food, and has instilled in him the natural desire to pursue his food within the limits of powers he has, but, still, individual powers are incapable alone of pursuing the food he needs for survival

Surprisingly and paradoxically, the word or term politics is commonly used every day and night in all communities by all classes of people from the elite and the educated to common people, yet one cannot find for this word an all-inclusive definition, while we can see that it is much more feasible to define a term like sociology, a science dealt with by specialists only, than to define the word politics, despite the fact that politics is a very old social science compared with sociology which relatively new

Ibn Khaldoun further explains, in a nutshell, the need of man to his peer in order to fulfill his bread and butter necessities especially food. Man, as we know, cannot be self-sufficient if he lives alone away from his fellows, thus necessitating mans seek of help from those who are able to fulfill his pressing needs

Today, Iraq is witnessing a calamity of catastrophic dimensions. Every aspect of daily life has been affected by years of sanctions, mismanagement of national resources, and three devastating wars. The present tragic status of security, health, education, employment, infrastructure, and other vital public services calls for urgent measures to support the rebuilding process.
