|a القول أن الفراغ السكاني الذي تميزت به البادية الغربية انعكس سلباً على أهميتها الاقتصادية والسياسية والعسكرية والأمنية وشكل عائقاً حقيقيًا أمام تفعيل القوة الكامنة في المنطقة. ومن هذه الحقيقة لا بد من وضع خطط علمية لاستثمار الموارد الطبيعية وإعادة توزيع السكان في المنطقة وجعلها منطقة في جسد الدولة العراقية بدلاً من أن تكون منطقة ضعف كما هي في وضعها الحالي.
|b State Political geography is interested in studying the natural and human geographical components and to show their influence on the strength of State since there is a strong relation between extensive strength of the State and its geographical components, these components would reflect in one way or another over all economic, political , military and psychological elements of State strength . So, this study which was done in 2009 came to shed the light upon geographical components of western desert of Iraq and its effect in State's strength , the western desert astronomically occurs between two width circles 29.4 – 34.6O to north and between length lines 38.49 - 47.55 to east and it takes an important part and an indicator in Iraqi State body . Its area is about 177473 km. squar about 40% of Iraqi total area and near four Arabic countries of Iraq which are Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait besides its importance on geopolitical .The study focused mainly on demographic pace, the region is hardly empty from population and general population density is low as two individuals /km. square and it so low as compared with general density all over Iraq which reaches to 67 individuals / km. square. It has negative effects on political, economic and military cases inside the State. \ The main problem that the study has dealt with is the question between geographical components of the study region especially demographic space and strength of the State. \ The hypothesis came negatively, the demographic space reflects negatively on strength of State .The researcher depended on text of strength analysis and historical text in political geography. \ The study included five chapters : \ 1-\ Chapter one includes the theoretical frame of the study that includes the study problem , study hypothesis , study limitations , study curriculum , study importance , previous studies and study structure and it also includes terms and concepts related to the subject of the study . \ 2-\ Chapter two includes natural components of western desert which is the geographical site , geological structure , relief , climate , water resources , natural plant. \ 3-\ Chapter three has dealt with demographic components of western desert, population size and their growth , geographical distribution of population , age component, quality component, geographical distribution for rural and civilian population. \ 4-\ Chapter four includes the study of economic components of western desert and to compare it with natural abilities that the region is full of , it includes pastoral economy , agricultural activity, mineral resource, industrial activity , means of transport. \ 5-\ Chapter five came to shed the light upon geopolitics of western desert and dimensions of demographic space in it from military, security, economic and political cases. \ Moreover, the study included conclusions and recommendations that brief what the study reached to. \ The researcher knows that it is unable to reach perfect in the research although others try to do so, therefore, some mistakes might be occurred and we wish they would not be much. \
