The examination and scrutiny of the protracted Syrian crisis, recently the longest of its kind marked by rampant instability, terrorism proliferation, arms race, and various humanitarian catastrophes, have had ramifications extending far beyond the borders of Syria. In addition to the involvement of non-state actors, this crisis also served as a battleground for the competition between regional and global powers. Hence, due to its diverse geographical scope and the influence of foreign stakeholders, the crisis merits in-depth study and analysis. Dania Koleilat Khatib undertakes this task in her book, delving into the motives, policies, and utilization of significant tactics by influential stakeholders involved in the Syrian crisis. The actors include Russia, China, the United States, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as non-state actors to a certain degree. The resulting 13-chapter volume, titled The Syrian Crisis: Effects on Regional and International Relations, serves as an attempt to deepen the understanding of the crisis and its genesis regarding foreign power intervention.
