Whether it is driven by political elites as a regime-survival strategy, by major powers to build regional influence, or by religious leaders and believers who are unwilling to accept the equal status of other religious groups, sectarianism is likely to remain part of the regional landscape for years to come. This does not mean, however, that sectarianism defines all facets of the Middle East or that the violence that stems from sectarianism is irreversible. Middle Eastern communities are generally resilient to the worst sectarian impulses, and even communities that experience sectarian strife can recover from it. This report takes a multidisciplinary approach to explore resilience to sectarianism through four Middle Eastern case studies: Lebanon, Bahrain, Syria, and Iraq. No one factor is likely to be sufficient on its own, but the case studies suggest that formal and informal mechanisms for mediating the early onset of conflict, preexisting levels of trust between community leaders, activists with experience in building movements, strong border monitoring, and physical infrastructure that encourages sectarian mixing all help. Indeed, this research demonstrates that, at least at the local level, communities can resist the slide toward sectarianism. 650 0 $a Sects $z Middle East. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Sects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01110714 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 0 $a Religious tolerance $z Middle East $x Case studies. 650 0 $a Ethnic conflict $z Middle East $x Prevention. 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Rizkallah, Amanda, $e author. 700 1 $a Wasser, Becca, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2016103225 700 1 $a Martini, Jeffrey, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2008032189 700 1 $a Kaye, Dalia Dassa, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n00048432 856 41 $u https://doi.org/10.7249/RR2799 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213011849.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AAC4DECE0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
