Resumen

Empleando la técnica SEM, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo examinar los efectos de las percepciones acerca de la corrupción sobre la desconfianza en la política y en el islamismo político en Irak. El presente estudio utilizó los datos de la quinta oleada del Arab Barometer proporcionados durante los años 2018-2019. Examinando los datos proporcionados por 2461 ciudadanos iraquíes, los resultados revelaron que la percepción de corrupción que, por un lado, aumenta la percepción de la ciudadanía de un desempeño deficiente del gobierno y una mala dirección del país y, por otro lado, reduce la tendencia a un sistema político democrático. Los resultados también mostraron que las percepciones de los ciudadanos sobre la corrupción, a través de las tres variables mediadoras mencionadas, indirectamente aumentan la desconfianza política en la sociedad y afectan negativamente a la islamización política.
