Abstract

The Kurdish movement in the Middle East exploited the conflict in Syria to gain de facto autonomy in northern Syria through the formation of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its military wing, the YPG (People's Protection Units of Kurdistan). This group then formed the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), affiliated with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey and supported by the United States. This poses a threat to Turkey, as the PKK has long waged an insurgency in Turkey and threatened Turkish sovereignty. This research employed qualitative methods through a case study approach and library research as its data collection technique. In analyzing Turkey's involvement in the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime, this study utilizes an offensive realism perspective to describe Turkey's aggressive stance in securing its national interests in Syria through a proxy war to overthrow the regime. The results of this study indicate that Turkey was indirectly involved in the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria in 2024, using its latent power. This latent power takes the form of a proxy war by supporting the SNA and HTS in an effort to bring down the Bashar Al-Assad regime. Turkey also provided territorial protection to HTS in Idlib before they launched an attack on November 24-December 8, 2024. In addition, Turkey provided military assistance such as light combat vehicles, ammunition, and intelligence information to HTS and SNA. Not only that, Turkey also helped conduct diplomacy and discussions with countries allied with the Assad regime to refrain from retaliatory attacks when HTS launched an attack on December 8, 2024. In the economic sector, Turkey provided logistical assistance in the form of food and medicine, and even helped facilitate alternative trade routes for HTS to maintain their financial stability. Therefore, Turkey played a major role in the collapse of the Bashar Al-Assad regime in Syria in 2024. Keywords: HTS and SNA, Turkish involvement, proxy war, offensive realism, Bashar Al-Assad regime

Abstract

Sweden's commitment to gender equality in its foreign policy was strengthened through the declaration of the Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) in 2014. This commitment became the basis for Sweden's advocacy of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), particularly during its tenure as a non-permanent member in 2017–2018. As a middle power, Sweden utilized multilateral diplomacy to promote the mainstreaming of gender perspectives in the international peace and security agenda. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through document analysis of UNSC resolutions, UN Secretary-General reports, Swedish official statements, and related foreign policy documents, applying the Multi-Track Diplomacy framework to map Sweden's strategies through formal (Track I) and non-formal (Track II) channels. The findings show that Sweden's advocacy included participation in the formulation and voting of WPS resolutions, use of the UNSC presidency, gender-sensitive statements, Arria Formula Meetings, partnerships with civil society organizations, coalition-building with like-minded states, and financial support through Sida and the Folke Bernadotte Academy. These strategies contributed to increased integration of gender perspectives in UNSC resolutions, growth in the adoption of National Action Plans on WPS, and strengthening of WPS institutions, although Sweden's advocacy continued to face P5 geopolitical dynamics, contradictions in arms-export policy, and neo-colonial feminism critiques. Sweden's diplomacy confirms that a middle power can influence the development of international norms through legitimacy, coalition-building, and adaptive diplomatic strategy.
