External Actors in Syria:

Assessing the influence and interests of Russia, Iran and Hezbollah

La Maison du Futur (MdF) and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Syria/Iraq Office hosted a day-long closed-door workshop discussing the influence of external powers on the Syrian conflict. The Syrian conflict has stretched on for more than five years, and has resulted in massive humanitarian crisis both within the region and Europe, but more importantly, it has drawn in regional and international actors to the conflict. This workshop seeks to examine the impact that particularly the Russian and Iranian interventions including Hezbollah have had on the course of the conflict, analyze the long-term strategic interests and goals of these key players and assess the consequences of their engagement for the future of Syria.
