Abstract
This chapter outlines the interdependencies between the institutional stagnation, partnership failure, and conflict between Iraq and the Kurdistan region. It identifies the pathways through which the institutions have emerged and stagnated since the mid-1960s. It explores why these two partners, the federal government of Iraq and the Kurdistan regional government, are unable to live together or separate peacefully.
