After the Fall of the Syrian Regime: A Media Review of the Collapse's Impact on Drug Control Efforts in Iraq

Abstract

The aim of this research is to shed light on the potential repercussions of the collapse of the Syrian regime on anti-drug efforts in Iraq, focusing on the security and social dimensions of this issue. It also aims to identify the role of the media in addressing these repercussions by raising community awareness, supporting government policies, and enhancing regional cooperation. To achieve this goal, the descriptive analytical approach was used. Data were collected through a questionnaire as one of the scientific research tools. The questionnaire was distributed to a sample of the research community, which numbered 79 individuals, who answered the questions of the electronic questionnaire form. The study concluded that there is a strong, statistically significant, direct correlation between the collapse of the Syrian regime and anti-drug efforts in Iraq at a significance level of 0.05. It is evident that there is a statistically significant direct effect of the collapse of the Syrian regime on anti-drug efforts in Iraq. It was found that every time the level of collapse of the Syrian regime increases by 1%, the level of anti-drug efforts in Iraq increases by 0.636%. Therefore, the study recommends the need to consider concluding security agreements between Iraq and neighboring countries to enhance anti-drug efforts.The aim of this research is to shed light on the potential repercussions of the collapse of the Syrian regime on anti-drug efforts in Iraq, focusing on the security and social dimensions of this issue.
