The bronze age saw the development of large States with complex administrative structures and a central Government. This necessitated a means to convey instructions and orders, a means to ensure that laws were known and obeyed all through the empire and a means to report to the central Government about the state of provinces, tax income etcetera. The only way to realize this was to develop systems of writing.

What is the name of the official writing of Mesopotamia?

Cuniform It depends on what you mean by this question. There was no "official" writing in Mesopotamia. There were many civilizations at many different times, and still are. "Cuneiform" is the correct term if one is talking about the style of writing, but if one is talking about the language, then the most correct term would probably be "Akkadian." Akkadian was, for many years, the language of diplomacy used for correspondence between all the great kings of the mid- to late-Bronze Age, with the likely exception of the Mycenaean king, who appears to have employed Hittite/Neshili scribes but perhaps not Akkadian ones.
