В статье рассматриваются некоторые особенности формирования стратегии США в отношении Сирии на фоне эскалации вооруженного конфликта между президентом Б. Асадом и оппозицией. На основе анализа американского механизма принятия внешнеполитических решений делается вывод, что сирийская политика Белого дома не в полной мере отражает национальные интересы США и является следствием американской внутриполитической борьбы

The article deals with some specific features of the U.S. strategy formation in regard to Syria at the time of the escalation of the military conflict between President B. Assad and the opposition. On the basis of the analysis of the U.S. mechanism of foreign- policy decision making process a conclusion is made that the Syrian policy of the White House doesn’t reflect to the full extent the national interests of the USA and is a result of the struggle in American internal policy.
