Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)	ln 2017 the conflict in Syria has entered a new phase in which the role of the Syrien armed forces, their capacity to regain and control territory, their power to absorb non-statutory militia members within their ranks, as well as their ability to use force and to behave according to nationally and internationally agreed standards will be under scrutiny. The ability of the executive authorities to oversee these developments and to exert control over the armed forces will also be tested. At the political level, developments related to the Syrien security sector should be part of international talks related to governance and the fight against terrorism.

Carnegie Middle East Center (below: CM EC) will compile verified data, develop analytical assessments and policy recommendations based on that data and tailored to the needs and realities of post-conflict stabilization, reform, and reconstruction of the defense sector in Syria. It will also build capacity of Syrien civil society and think-tank partners to play an increasing role in gathering, handling and analyzing information related to the security sector.
