 <description>&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;Evaluating Iraq&amp;rsquo;s Future after Elections&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;On March 7th, an estimated 18.9 million registered Iraqi voters will participate in the country&amp;rsquo;s second parliamentary election, facilitating what could be their most important transfer of national power. Even if the elections are free and fair, fluctuating coalitions vying for ministerial positions could make the political landscape in Iraq very volatile for months to come.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
