Ethnic diversity management in Iraq, as one of the most significant challenges to internal security, plays a decisive role in the country’s political stability and sustainable development. Weak institutional coordination, limited mechanisms for social dialogue, and the absence of comprehensive coexistence strategies have contributed to the intensification of ethnic tensions and the erosion of internal security. The present study aims to provide a strategic analysis of ethnic dynamics management and to examine its impact on enhancing the internal security of the Republic of Iraq. Using a descriptive–analytical method and a mixed-methods approach (quantitative and qualitative), the study employs the SWOT analytical framework to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to ethnic diversity management. Data were collected through documentary research, semi-structured interviews, and field investigations, with the participation of 42 security and political experts, government officials, and academics. The findings indicate that effective management of ethnic diversity requires the adoption of an integrated approach across four dimensions: security–strategic, economic–social, institutional–governance, and political–diplomatic. Strengthening preventive security mechanisms, ensuring equitable resource distribution, enhancing social cohesion, and improving institutional coordination can play a significant role in reducing ethnic tensions and improving Iraq’s internal security. The results of this study can serve as a basis for formulating national policies and strategies aimed at managing ethnic diversity and reinforcing security stability in Iraq.
