Creative Chaos and Its Impact on Social Policy

Abstract

Creative chaos is a strategy devised by the United States of America to be an extension of the roots of chaos in ancient civilizations and myths, but this time it was pursued in a new international approach. It managed to promote this concept through alternative formulations of constructive chaos, according to a political framework that carries both the disintegrative and integrative aspects, and tends towards international instability and a state of asymmetric wars generated by chaos in international relations, including countries like Iraq. The strategy of creative chaos left its mark on Iraq, which plunged into a vortex of conflicts among its various components. The USA began implementing this strategy in Iraq in 2003 through the military occupation under the pretext of changing the ruling regimes, followed by a series of changes that affected the political, economic, and social systems in the country. All of these contributed to creating gaps and weaknesses in the implementation of social policy within state institutions, especially the service-oriented ones. It is not hidden from policy makers and decision makers that successful social policies rely on these institutions to achieve the desired objectives.
