Amount of influence of the Kurdish National Council in the life of Syria, and its commitment  to inclusive nationalism for Syria.

25 prime actors participated in the following:

• Determining the rank of the Kurdish National Council according to the amount of its influence on life in Syria. As shown in the chart below, the Kurdish National Council ranked 58th most influential prime actor.
• Assessing and classifying the Kurdish National Council according to its commitment to inclusive nationalism for Syria (also indicated in the same row by the colored rectangle). Of the 25 prime actors who participated in the assessments, more agreed that the Kurdish National Council falls under the category of 'Follower'. A prime actor assessed as Follower is seen as willing to build a sovereign, stable, inclusive, and developing Syria, but only when it serves its own interests.
