Abstract

This study aims to examine the complex oil dispute between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Federal Government of Iraq, highlighting its political, economic, and social dimensions. Using a multidisciplinary approach, this research employs qualitative analysis based on legal and policy frameworks to assess the implications of the conflict. The findings indicate that the dispute extends beyond resource control, affecting federal governance, ethnic autonomy, and national stability. Economically, it disrupts regional development and threatens Iraq’s oil-dependent economy. Socially, it exacerbates ethnic divisions, while politically, it challenges legal interpretations of resource rights and revenue sharing. The study concludes that resolving this conflict requires comprehensive policy reforms, enhanced transparency, and international cooperation to foster sustainable regional stability and development.
