Allison, R. (2013). Russia and Syria: Explaining alignment with a regime in crisis.

International Affairs, 89(4), 795-823. https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-2346.12046



Written by a Professor of Russian and Eurasian International Relations at Oxford School of

Global and Area Studies, this paper examines explanations of Russia’s alignment with Assad’s

regime in Syria and why Russia effectively supports Damascus in the Syrian conflict. Roy

Allison argues that there are more reasons why Russia is interested in Syria than just material

benefits, Russian solidarity with the Syrian leadership, and criticism of past interventions by the

West. He used other research papers, press conferences and government reports to support his

main argument.



Allison has a career as an academic professor, the article is peer-reviewed and it is published in

International Affairs, a journal founded by Chatham House. The paper is credible and reliable

for those reasons. Nevertheless, the article is not recently published as it is from 2013, meaning

that it does not contain an updated version of the conflict in Syria and its alignment with

Russia. Allison mainly examines the years 2000 to 2013, so he uses historical events which

give the paper broad elements. However, Allison’s work also has narrow elements since he

exclusively examines Russia’s interests and support in Syria.



This research by Allison could play a significant role in answering my research question, as

classical realism refers to domestic politics, human nature, and self-interest of states as the key

factors in understanding state behaviour. This aligns with Allison’s paper since he analysed

Russia’s and Syria’s affinity and, therefore, he could explore Russia’s national self-interests in

Syria.
