SYRIA - THE SPACE OF A CONFLICT WITH VARIABLE GEOMETRY AND UNPREDICTABLE CONSEQUENCES

Summary/Abstract: The Middle East is the most sensitive area of the world from a political, economic, social, cultural and religious point of view, the environment where state and non-state actors are disputing their interests in controlling energy resources, their flows, and at the same time marked by challenges, vulnerabilities, and conflicts. In this context, the war in Syria met the characteristics of a conflict with variable geometry, which included various forms, from civil war, war against terrorism, proto-war, interest-based war, proxy war, and widespread international war. Given the characteristics of the variable geometry conflict, within it there were a lot of conventional, unconventional, irregular (asymmetric), non-kinetic, and humanitarian assistance operations that took place. The complex and multiple consequences of the war in Syria justify the need to increase resilience in addressing and understanding the physiognomy of conflicts with variable geometry for the development and application of appropriate response options.
