Abstract

Almost a year into US President Joe Biden’s term of office, his administration still lacks a clear Syria policy. The persistent lack of a cogent US approach to Syria carries dangerous implications for the people of Syria and the world at large.

Despite recent setbacks, the Kurdish-run autonomous administration of north and east Syria still stands as an exceptional model of inclusivity and embryonic democratisation in a deeply troubled region. By providing limited political, economic and military support to that body, the US could redress past failures, regain lost trust among its partners, counter jihadist extremism and help the people of Syria secure a better future.
