How can the current civil wars in the Middle East be resolved? This
volume brings together academics, experts, and practitioners to
explore this question. The book covers the history of civil wars in
the region during the 20th century, and then examines the specific
causes, drivers, and dynamics of the ongoing civil wars in Syria,
Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Updated for a second edition,
the book argues that while these are very different cases of civil
war, there are patterns that are important to point out at the
outset. First, while each of the conflicts appears to be a
relatively recent phenomenon, each has a long historical tail.
Second, each of the civil wars had deep and complex domestic
drivers and dynamics over issues of governance, political identity,
and resources; at the same time, all of the conflicts have had deep
regional and international components. Finally, all of these civil
wars have been affected by the presence or entrance of armed
transnational non-state actors, which have had far greater
involvement in the Middle Eastern civil wars compared to other
regions. The book concludes that these conflicts will require a
mixture of local, regional, and international interventions to
bring them to an end, but that none of the conflicts are likely to
end cleanly through either a negotiated settlement or a clear
victory by one party or the other. Despite this pessimistic overall
assessment, the book emphasizes that policymakers should use
knowledge of civil wars in the Middle East to develop and pursue
specific national, regional and global policies. These should be
built around mitigating the worst effects of the conflicts and
towards ultimate resolution.
