This study is an attempt to re-examine prevailing views concerning the question of political power during the first three and a half decades of the fourth/tenth century 'Abbasid caliphate. Specifically, it focuses upon the relationship between the caliph and the amir al-umara'. In order to examine the conditions in which power was exercised a survey of the socio-economic conditions of Iraq in the latter half of the third/ninth century is made. These conditions are then traced through the reigns of the caliphs al-Muqtadir, al-Qahir, al-Radi and al-Muttaqi and related to the problem of power confronted by the caliphs, their wazirs but particularly the amirs during the period of the pre-Buyid amirate (324 AH to 334 AH). / Cette étude est un essai ayant pour but d'examiner les points de vues qui ont prévalu en ce qui concerne la question du pouvoir politique durant les trois premieres décades du 4e/lOe siècle du Califat Abbaside.
