The Arab Spring, which began in the last months of 2010 in Tunis, led to the significant breakages in the Middle East. Although it has been nearly six years, the impacts of this process is still going on and both great powers and regional countries have been experiencing difficulties in determining a clear approach in the in the face of ongoing developments. The United States of America (US) is also one of these actors. The US’s approach towards the Arab Spring, in particular the crisis in Syria, created disappointment in some circles. In Washington, some Republican figures have been criticizing Democrat Obama administration due to its passive approach towards the Syrian humanitarian crisis. This situation requires researching the nature of relation between the Democrat identity of Obama and the US’s Syria policy. Thus, this study focuses on the continuity and rupture between the Democratic Party foreign policy traditions, which can be divided into two groups as principles and the implementations, and the US’s foreign policy towards Syria in the process of the Arab Spring.
