Regional and international powers with their proxies has shaped not only Syrian politics, economy, and international relations, but also neighbors of Syria, such as Turkey, Lebanon, and Iraq, and the roles of world powers such as the United States of America and Russia.

With Syrian War, transnational jihadist course found a new haven, and its impact is perceived throughout the Middle East.
