With more than 500,000 people killed and at least half the
population displaced, Syria's conflict is the most deadly of the
twenty-first century. Russia's decision to join the war has broken
the long military and political stalemate but it looks unlikely to
deliver any of the core demands that spawned the original uprising
against the Ba'athist regime. In this fully revised second edition
of his acclaimed text, Samer Abboud provides an in-depth analysis
of Syria's descent into civil war, the subsequent stalemate, and
the consequences of Russian military involvement after 2015. He
unravels the complex and multi-layered drivers of the conflict and
demonstrates how rebel fragmentation, sustained regime violence,
international actors, and the emergence of competing centers of
power tore Syria apart in wholly irreversible ways. A resolution to
the Syrian catastrophe seems to have emerged in the aftermath of
Russia's intervention, but, as Abboud argues, this "authoritarian
peace" contains the seeds of continued and future conflict in
Syria. While the Assad regime has so far survived, the instability,
violence, and insecurity that continue to shape everyday life for
the Syrian people portend an uncertain future that will have
repercussions on the wider Middle East for years to come.
