Abstract

This article aims to analyze and identify the polítical, social, and security reasons that contributed to the power vacuum that engulfed Iraq in the years following the phenomenon of the Arab Spring, which played a crucial role in the seizure of territories by the jihadist group Islamic State in Iraq (ISIS). The selected time period (2011-2017) begins with the protests in Iraq that emerged in the context of the uprisings known as the Arab Spring in the Middle East and North Africa region, while the culmination point is in December 2017, when Iraq announced its triumph and the recovery of areas that had been captured and occupied years earlier by the jihadist group.

To achieve this objective, a compilation and systematic organization of literature is conducted, including official documents. Additionally, articles from scientific journals, books or their chapters, papers presented at conferences, reports from research centers, as well as notes and journalistic articles from Iraqi, regional, and international media are utilized.
