Abstract
Significance After the outbreak of civil war in 2011 and the rise of Islamic State (IS), the US-backed SDF managed to establish an autonomous administration in northeast Syria. However, it suffers from legitimacy deficits, while both Ankara and Damascus are seeking to undermine it. Impacts A longer-term conflict in Deir ez-Zour would embolden IS. Syrian Kurds will seek to hedge against uncertain future US policy. Rising emigration from northeastern Syria could cause concern in European countries.
