How to Balance the Powers and Responsibilities of the Iraqi and Lebanese Prime Ministers in Implementing Public Policy

This research explores the balance between powers and responsibilities of the Prime Minister in Iraq and Lebanon in the context of public policy implementation. The political systems of both countries are analyzed, with a focus on the powers of the Prime Minister and the challenges faced in executing public policies. The study reveals that Iraq's political system, marked by political pluralism and sectarian divisions, and Lebanon's sectarian power-sharing model both create difficulties in coordinating between the executive and legislative branches. Additionally, corruption and weak institutions play a significant role in hindering the government's ability to effectively implement policies.The research recommends strengthening coordination between authorities, reforming government institutions, reducing sectarian influence, and reforming the electoral system in both countries. It also highlights the importance of activating accountability and oversight mechanisms to ensure transparency and achieve success in public policy implementation
