The purpose of the study is to determine the state system and the political regime formed in the above-mentioned autonomy. The relevance of this work is related to the rapidly changing situation in the Middle East, specifically in Syria – the overthrow of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024. and the processes of interaction between the new Syrian authorities and the already established Kurdish autonomy in the north and east of the country. The method of legal analysis of the constitutional norms of the Charter of Rojava and their comparison with the basic political principles of the ideology of democratic confederalism was applied in the work. The scientific value of this research lies in the study of the ideological foundations of constitutional construction in Rojava and the prospects for the coexistence of autonomy with the central government of Syria after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.
