Abstract
This study aims to examine the complex functioning of Syrian
conflict with respect to involvement of various actors like state as
well as non-state actors on national, regional and international
levels. It analyzes and identifies the actors, their role and
strategies and future prospects regarding the Syrian Crisis. The
qualitative approach following the document analysis has been
used to get profound and diverse information about the issue and
all the actors and factors involved in the Syrian conflict. The actors
involved in the conflict are found to be in three blocks; Pro-Assad,
Anti-Assad and Non-aligned. The role of Islamic State has is
distinct by fighting with all actors involved including the Pro- Assad regime and Anti-Assad forces. Israel in early phase
expressed neutrality but became part of the conflict to counter the
increasing Iranian influence and IS factor. The study predicts that
the complex functioning of the Syrian conflict with respect to
various state and non-state actors on all levels from regional to
international levels will go on for next few years
