The effects of Russian intervention in the Syria crisis

This report discusses the effects and implications for conflict in the region

Abstract

The linked Russian political-military initiative in Syria – with a bombing campaign from 30 September, support of Iranian-Hezbollah-Syrian military ground offensives, and convening of international conferences to try and secure the Assad regime – has changed the dynamics of the 56-month Syrian conflict. The effects of the intervention are significant, and are both country-specific, inside and outside Syria, and in the relationship between countries, communities, and systems. This report discusses the effects and implications for the conflict in the region.
