Este artículo analiza la evolución del movimiento político kurdo durante la Guerra Civil Siria, así como los factores que han permitido su consolidación y los desafíos que enfrenta en la reconfiguración política del país. A través de un enfoque cualitativo basado en el análisis documental de artículos científicos, informes de organizaciones internacionales y medios regionales, se examina la transformación del movimiento kurdo, desde su marginación histórica hasta su papel central en la lucha contra el Estado Islámico y la administración territorial en el norte de Siria. A pesar de haber consolidado estructuras de autogobierno, la estabilidad del movimiento kurdo en Siria sigue amenazada por la presión de Turquía, la fragmentación interna y la incertidumbre tras la caída de Bashar al-Assad. Finalmente, se evalúa el impacto de la nueva configuración del poder en Siria y las perspectivas de una solución negociada para la cuestión kurda en la región.
This article analyzes the evolution of the Kurdish political movement during the Syrian Civil War, as well as the factors that have enabled its consolidation and the challenges it faces in the political reconfiguration of the country. Using a qualitative approach based on documentary analysis of scientific articles, reports from international organizations, and regional media, the study examines the transformation of the Kurdish movement from its historical marginalization to its central role in the fight against the Islamic State and territorial administration in northern Syria. Despite having consolidated self-governing structures, the stability of the Kurdish movement in Syria remains threatened by pressure from Turkey, internal fragmentation, and uncertainty following the fall of Bashar al-Assad. Finally, the impact of the new power configuration in Syria is assessed, along with the prospects for a negotiated solution to the Kurdish issue in the region.
