| Résumé : |
Syria’s civil war has left behind a fractured state. While the new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, seeks to unify the country and restore centralized governance, this appears unworkable. Instead, this article contends, asymmetrical federalism offers a pathway toward stability. The analysis identifies three dimensions necessary for a durable settlement: regional security autonomy; equitable management of key resources, particularly oil and agriculture; and credible international guar-
antees to maintain autonomy. Drawing on cases from Iraq, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Canada, the examination shows how asymmetrical arrangements can accommodate powerful regional actors, such as the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, while preserving national
cohesion. The article outlines mechanisms to address Syria’s pluralism, including constitutional recognition of regional jurisdictions, a Federal Security Council with veto provisions, binding revenue-sharing agreements, and joint security protocols. It also evaluates the role of international actors, especially the United States, as potential guarantors of autonomy and security in the absence of a strong central state. By grounding asymmetrical federalism in Syrian realities, the article demonstrates its potential for representative governance. |
