| Opplysninger | Syria is without functioning government in many areas, but not without governance. In the northeast, the Democratic Union Party (PYD) has announced its intent to establish the federal region of Rojava. The PYD took control of the region following the Syrian regime’s handover in some Kurdish-majority areas and as a consequence of its retreat from others. The rise of Rojava as a self-declared autonomous region in Syria continues to present opportunities and challenges vis-a-vis local, regional and international actors. The PYD now seeks to further consolidate its power and to legitimize itself through the provision of security, services and public diplomacy. Yet, its local legitimacy remains contested.
