Abstract

Since 2003, Iraqi-Turkish relations have witnessed significant political and economic transformations, with Turkey becoming one of Iraq's main trading partners. This relationship has been affected by multiple political factors, such as border security issues, water resources, the Kurdish question, military interventions, and others. Due to this entanglement, it has become necessary to study the relationship between the political and economic variables using standard analytical tools to reveal the nature of the influence between them and to determine the extent to which bilateral trade between Iraq and Turkey is sensitive to political fluctuations.
