Abstract
Governmental policies play a crucial role in fostering peaceful coexistence and countering extremism within societies. By enacting robust legislation, promoting education and awareness, and encouraging social and economic integration, governments can create environments where tolerance and respect thrive. Initiatives such as interfaith and intercultural dialogues, support for civil society organizations, and positive media campaigns further strengthen the social fabric, making it resilient against the forces of division and radicalization. Through comprehensive and inclusive strategies, governments can ensure that all citizens feel valued and protected, thereby reducing the appeal of extremist ideologies and contributing to a more harmonious and unified nation. Public policy is an essential function that political systems of all forms and types cannot abandon. As for the policy of peaceful coexistence, it has been proven that genuinely promoting it in the post-conflict phase between warring factions within the state is a long and arduous task. The longer the conflicts and wars, the more complex they become. Notably, the concept of peaceful coexistence among the components of the Iraqi people is weak, and peaceful coexistence within Iraqi society is characterized by fragility and is prone to threats at any moment. This society, troubled in its social relationships, now needs the concept of coexistence more than ever before, and it must be entrenched through the practice of democracy in Iraq in a way that guarantees rights and duties for all, to restore mutual trust among the components of this society and make them feel they are citizens of the state.
