This book examines that question in the context of Syria, drawing insight from the evolution of conflict at the local level. Kevin Mazur shows that the challenge to the Syrian regime did not erupt neatly along ethnic boundaries, and that lines of access to state-controlled resources played a critical structuring role; the ethnicization of conflict resulted from failed incumbent efforts to shore up network ties and the violence that the Asad regime used to crush dissent by challengers excluded from those networks. Mazur uses variation in the political and demographic characteristics of locales to explain regime strategies, the roles played by local intermediaries, the choice between non-violent and violent resistance, and the salience of ethnicity. By drawing attention to cross-ethnic ties, the book suggests new strategies for understanding ostensibly ethnic conflicts beyond Syria"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Syria $x History $y Civil War, 2011- 651 0 $a Syria $x Ethnic relations. 651 0 $a Syria $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 600 10 $a Assad, Bashar, $d 1965- 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mazur, Kevin, 1982- $t Revolution in Syria $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108915274 $w (DLC) 2021026996 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in comparative politics. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602015711.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62C0986683F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
