This book explores the global impact of the Syrian conflict, and the roles of Russia, Iran and the US in its wake. This second edition examines the future of the region post the fall of the Assad regime and what it means for the various actors in the region, principally Russia, Iran, Israel and the US.

The book:

challenges the conventional scholarship to show how non-democratic states such as Russia, Iran and China exhibit a consistent strategic intent in their foreign-policy-making;
underlines the convergence of Syrian foreign policy with Russia’s (the USSR before 1989) and Iran’s regional outlook post-1979;
takes stock of the shifts in the US foreign policy in MENA in light of new realities.
Drawing on detailed fieldwork and archival material, including National Security Archival documents, this book is a tour de force in understanding global politics and contemporary history. It will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of politics and international relations, political theory, foreign policy, Middle East studies, and peace and conflict studies.

Ghaidaa Hetou is an academic and researcher focusing on Middle East and North Africa’s (MENA) security, foreign policy and political economy. She writes on MENA states’ grand strategies, middle powers, geopolitics and political risk analysis. She is an adjunct professor at Rutgers University’s United Nations and Global Policy Studies Masters Program. Dr. Hetou is also the founder of iStrategic LLC, a political risk analysis firm based in New Jersey, USA.
