HAS THE SYRIAN WAR ENTERED A NEW PHASE? Abstract: The present document offers a brief revision of the different phases of the Syrian civil war; it analyzes the possible consequences that the August 21 chemical incident in Damascus may have with a view to the future of the war; and it considers the options for his ending. Keywords: Syria, civil war, chemical weapons, Assad, political opposition Analysis report 50/2013 1 HAS THE SYRIAN WAR ENTERED A NEW PHASE? Mario Laborie Iglesias ANALYSIS The fact that the Syrian regime has agreed to destroy its chemical weapons, as a way to prevent a punitive attack by the Western powers led by the U.S., has been greeted with relief by the foreign offices all over the world1. On September 21, according to the deadlines set by the Russia- U.S. agreement signed in Geneva, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) received the initial declaration of the chemical weapons that Syria has in possession2. On August 21, the most remarkable chemical weapons incident of the war took place3. That day a rocket attack, equipped with a chemical agent (sarin gas), killed 1,429 people in a Damascus suburb4, according to the U.S.

A continuación, el proceso de creación de esta, seguido de su evolución. En el siguiente apartado, veremos los contextos internos de Libia y de Siria al tiempo de sus respectivos conflictos. Pasamos al apartado IV y con ello al examen de la actuación del CS relativa al caso libio. Apartado V, lo mismo referido a Siria. Seguidamente, se estudiarán los diversos parámetros presentes en la comparación entre ambos supuestos. Dados los problemas y la insatisfactoria actuación del CS (tanto en el primer caso como en el otro), veremos las propuestas de modificación de la Responsabilidad de Proteger y marco normativo, con especial atención al Código de Conducta propuesto por Francia en 2013 (dado que esta iniciativa merece particular atención, al tratarse de la única ocasión en que uno de los culpables del fracaso de la aplicación de la RP muestra su intención de cambio en su actuación). PALABRAS CLAVE: Responsabilidad de Proteger, Guerra Civil Libia, Guerra Civil Siria, Consejo de Seguridad, derecho de veto, intervención militar.

    Department of Social Sciences and Security Studies The OODA Loop and Salafi-Jihadi Inspired Home-Grown Terrorism A Tactic of Asymmetric Warfare Jason Thomas This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University EMBARGOED UNTIL 2018 OR UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE April 2016 1 Declarations Candidate’s Declaration I, Jason Thomas, hereby confirm that this PhD thesis has been solely written by me, that it is a record of work carried out by me and has not been submitted in any previous application for a higher degree. I was admitted as a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 2012, at Curtin University of Technology. Date: 12 April 2016 Signature of Candidate: Supervisor’s Declaration I hereby certify that the candidate has fulfilled the conditions of the Resolution and Regulations appropriate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Curtin University of Technology and that the candidate is qualified to submit this thesis in application for that degree. Date: Signature of Supervisor 2 Abstract A central theme in the current terrorism phenomenon has been al Qaeda’s Salafi-Jihadi narrative and its ability to inspire home-grown terrorism. In the minds of generally young, unexceptional Muslim males and some Western converts to Islam, this narrative is recreated in the context of their own personal circumstances and networks. The predominant strategic models of terrorism are inadequate for critically analysing a phenomenon that is adaptable, dynamic, evolving and regenerative. Through the application of Colonel John Boyd’s Observe-Orientate-Decide-Act Loop (OODA Loop) as an adaptable, alternative strategic model of terrorism and case study research methodology, this thesis tested the theory that Salafi-Jihadi inspired home-grown terrorism is a tactic of asymmetric warfare.
