For Syria and Iraq I would rather propose a solution where there are a number of statelets joined in a confederation (like the old Swiss confederation) - with statelets for Marsh arabs/Shias, Sunnis in eastern Syria and western Iraq, Assyrians, Allawites, Kurds and a Syria of the cities from Aleppo to Damascus
the ideal scenario would be eliminatingIslam, but that's not going to happen so a dictatorship by the Alawites is the only way to keepjihadis out of power

The Kurds have consciously adopted some Swiss models, such as calling their sub-divisions in Syria Cantons. The dominant Kurdish political party in Syria (PYD) calls their political ideology Democratic Confederalism (same as the PKK). It is marked by a weaker central government, and great local autonomy.
In the last couple of years they have moved away from focusing this proposed organizational approach on only the Kurdish regions/people, and have been promoting it as a non-ethnic, non-sectarian approach for all, or any parts of, Syria.
