Auteurs : Jajjo Rym .

Résumé

This study addresses the Syrian crisis since 2011 as a complex conflict with intertwined internal, regional, and international dimensions, focusing on how power structures and political legitimacy are reshaped. It describes the nature of the political system and examines the crucial roles of regional actors (Russia, Iran, Turkey, Gulf States, and Israel) in creating power fragmentation and multiple sources of legitimacy. Furthermore, the paper reviews internal and external challenges facing the authority's future legitimacy, notably social fragility, armed militias, and potential geopolitical threats. Based on the current regional context, the study concludes by proposing two scenarios regarding the future of political legitimacy in Syria, considering its heavy reliance on regional allies.
