Foreign Policy Vision

Abstract

It is possible to argue that there are many stakeholders involved in the ongoing Syrian civil war. The developments in the region concern a number of regional and global actors. Turkey is facing the repercussions of the spillover effect of the ongoing conflict whereas Lebanon is fearful of sectarian clashes in the country. The US, while holding that an intervention is necessary, avoids strong and decisive action. The EU, on the other hand, seems to be paying attention to the prospective state rather than the ongoing conflict itself. Despite this complex situation in the foreign policy realm, opposition groups do not have a clarified framework of foreign relations that will serve as guidance and a roadmap in their endeavors.
