Abstract:

The categorization of public economic institutions within the Arab world is contingent upon the specific nature of their activities or the services they offer to citizens. Such institutions may be under the governance of public or private entities, direct management, or delegation through contractual arrangements. These entities wield administrative authority and benefit from the privileges associated with public authority, all aimed at enhancing institutional management. The legitimacy of these institutions emanates from their dedication to pursuing the public interest and fulfilling the citizens' needs. Consequently, this research predominantly delves into the legal frameworks governing the management of public economic institutions in Iraq, with a particular emphasis on the implications of the criminal justice system (CJS). Employing a secondary qualitative study, the findings underscore that the management approach adopted for each economic public institution is contingent upon its specific characteristics and the nature of its activities. Guiding principles encompass equality, functionality, adaptability, and adherence to prudent decision-making. Moreover, the study identifies prevalent challenges faced by public economic institutions, such as corruption, money laundering, and fraud. In light of these challenges, the implementation of an effective CJS is imperative to address these issues. The research also provides a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing management practices and the criminal justice system within public economic institutions in Iraq.
