Abstract
The Syrian crisis, which began following popular protests in the Arab world, left the country in a bloody and devastating war, leaving hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced. The crisis, which began with protests against the rule of Bashar al-Assad, gradually turned violent, with the armed opposition, the Syrian army and terrorist groups clashing. But the Syrian crisis was not just a civil war, and regional and international actors provided arms, financial and logistical support to those involved. Eventually, the war ended with the recapture of most of the areas occupied by the Syrian army. This crisis has been studied from various angles and dimensions, but this study seeks a new approach to the analysis of the Syrian war in the context of the English school. From this perspective, using a combination of positive, interpretive and critical methods, the Syrian crisis is analyzed from the perspective of the three English schools of Hobbes, Kant and Grossius, and a new window is opened to study this issue in the framework of international relations studies. The Hobbesian school emphasizes the preservation of Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, the role of governments, war, and the anarchic conditions of the international system. The Kanth sect advocates for the rights of Syrian citizens, the cooperation of international institutions, and the need for arms control and conflict, and the Grossioche sect calls for issues such as humanitarian intervention and the need for the intervention of international legal institutions to end the crisis.
