This book investigates rival narratives about the conflict in Syria
from 2011 onwards. It examines the starkly different narratives
about the Syrian conflict told by mainly Western mainstream and
alternative media, and contrasts these narratives with the equally
polarized but more nuanced narratives of mainly Western scholars
and long-form journalists. Differences of narrative concerning the
conflict include: what is deemed relevant context in trying to
explain the war; whether the war is best seen as a civil conflict
or as a proxy war fought among external powers; the degree of
emphasis given to the alleged crimes of the Syrian regime as
opposed to the alleged violence of Salafist militia; the accuracy
of the "origin" story of the conflict in Daraa; the extent to which
the initial protestors were secular campaigners calling for
democracy or whether they were Muslim extremists seeking a
sectarian society governed by sharia law. Several case studies of
propaganda institutions are examined here, including the journalism
of Marie Colvin; the role of government-funded NGOs; the
controversies surrounding each of three major instances of alleged
regime use of chemical weapons, and the politicization of the
Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). This
book will be of much interest to students of media and
communication studies, propaganda studies, Middle Eastern politics,
and International Relations in general.
