The UN or NATO Involvement in Syria

This book has been prepared in the light of a current tragedy in the Middle East: Syrian Civil War. After the recent developments in the region, studying the civil war from all perspectives came to the fore as a crucial requirement. In 2011, the Syrian Crisis, which started in the pursuit of better living conditions and basic democratic rights, has turned into a civil war which has in time affected the whole world. Hundreds of thousands of people have died, been wounded or have become refugees because of this humanitarian tragedy. In eight years, political and military dynamics have evolved and the civil war, as a primary problem that world politics must solve, has become multidimensional and complex in nature. The state structure of Syria, which consists of different ethnic and religious societies and which is a small model of the Middle East, makes it difficult to find a solution to the civil war. Because of her geostrategic location and political, military and economic importance, Syria has turned to a field of power struggle between global, regional and local actors.
