Initially, the Syrian Uprising was a non-violent movement calling for democratization. Why then, did it descend into political violence and a failed state? Referring to the debates over the non-violent resistance paradigm, civil wars and external intervention as well as state failure, Raymond Hinnebusch argues that we must look for answers to the interaction of internal rebellion and external intervention. More specifically, the lecture discusses the state building flaws that made the Assad regime vulnerable to the uprising; why mass anti-regime protests led, neither to democratic transition nor revolution from below, but to armed civil war; and also how external intervention helped tip the conflict into a version of "new wars" and generated a failed state in which the regime lost territorial control of the country. This, in turn, set off "competitive regime re-formation" in the Syrian space.

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
