Critical Analysis of Foreign Involvement in Syrian Crisis
Abstract
This paper gives an overview of Syrian history, present-day Syria, and politics in the run-up to the crisis. It also explains the genesis of the Syrian conflict, Arab Spring, Syrian civil war, and examines the different actors involved in this process. The Syrian crisis results in the worst humanitarian crisis in the region after world war II by killing more than 470,000 people and displacing half of the country's population both internally or externally. It has also paved the way for regional and extra-regional powers to indulge in the internal conflict of the Syrian state and seek their interests through anyways, irrespective of the hard way or soft way. This work also examined the key actors fueling the conflict in Syria. Sectarian division and failed socio-economic conditions within Syria. The intervention of foreign powers was the main reason for deepening the crisis and prolonged the conflict.
