Syrian Gambit: a Clash of Interests in the Geostrategic Complex «Greater Middle East»
Abstract
Syria was at the center of one of the geo-strategic complexes that have arisen as a result of the Cold War and the redistribution of global domination. Key characteristics of the political regime of Syria in the context of the contradictions between the global and regional political players in this important region of the world politics are closely monitored to many analysts, however, although these descriptions are valid to some extent, the Syrian regime is actually a mode of “nomenclature” that can not be reduced to any of the used stamps.
