Description
Redefining Ceasefires explores the complex role of ceasefires in Syria’s ongoing conflict and their implications for state reconstruction. Rather than viewing ceasefires simply as pauses in fighting, Marika Sosnowski argues they represent critical moments of wartime ordering and statebuilding. The book examines how ceasefire agreements shape political authority, territorial control, and institutional development during and after conflict.
Through detailed analysis of Syrian case studies, Sosnowski demonstrates how ceasefires create spaces for negotiation, consolidation of power, and the establishment of new governance structures. The work challenges conventional understandings of peacebuilding by showing how ceasefires function as part of ongoing conflict dynamics rather than simply stepping stones to permanent peace. This scholarly analysis is essential for understanding contemporary Middle Eastern conflicts and the mechanisms through which states attempt to reassert control in war-torn regions.
