Policy and Complex Systems
are the recent conflicts in Syria and the collapse of the Soviet Union .
In the frame of the global alliance model , re-stabilization of the resulting unstable system can be achieved by emergence of new global alliances able to bring in effective interactions to yield new stable coalitions . For countries of the former Soviet alliance , those may be global alliances that incite and put the focus on economical interactions . Some efforts in this direction are being made today by the former Soviet countries .
For Syria , the key of governing may be shifted from the traditional ethnic-religious key to the Statehood key , which refers to the process of constructing a national identity focusing on social safety and prosperity , as it has been achieved in some Eastern countries .
