Shifting Alliances in the Syrian Conflict
This chapter examines the changing power dynamics within Syria as rebel forces gain momentum against Bashar al-Assad's regime, affected by declining international support from Iran and Russia. It contrasts the current uprising, primarily driven by local groups, with past interventions, while also addressing the challenges posed to U.S. foreign policy by the rise of radical factions within the opposition.
