The Ruling Political Elite in Bathi Iraq, 1968-1986: The Changing Features of a Collective Profile [Elektronische Daten] [Amazia Baram] While to the casual observer Iraq appears to have been ruled by the same political elite since 1968, closer examination reveals that its leadership underwent important changes between 1968 and the mid-1980s. This article intends to show that even though the changes were very gradual, sometimes almost imperceptible, the accumulated effect over 18 years was considerable.
