GUERRERO TURBAY, Marcela  and  JARAMILLO JASSIR, Mauricio. Iran and Syria, a changing foreign policy: A comparative analysis of their internal links and influence regions. Civilizar [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.24, pp.137-156. ISSN 1657-8953.

In recent years there have been changes in the foreign policy of Syria and Iran, showing how their goals are far from immutable. Typically they have been associated and in some circles they talk of an alliance. However, this paper aims to show that although there is a convergence in a number of issues, their foreign policy priorities put them away. For this, the text is divided into two parts. First, there is a comparison of the internal links that condition the foreign policy in each state. Secondly, regional (and global?) projection of the two nations is contrasted. Throughout the document, the notion of James Rosenau's comparative study of foreign policy will be taken as a reference.

Keywords : Compared study of foreign policy; regional projection; national interest.
