World War in Syria answers questions that will have continued relevance beyond the country’s borders for years to come. What were the West’s motives for pursuing the Syrian state’s overthrow? How will precedents set in the conflict impact international norms with global reverberations? Why has Syria been vulnerable to instigation of insurgency, to information warfare and later to economic sanctions in a way that other Western adversaries are not? How has the conflict reflected the way warfare has evolved over recent decades, and under what conditions is it likely to conclude in the coming ten years?
