{"product_id":"syria-after-the-uprisings","title":"Syria after the Uprisings","description":"Syria has been at the centre of world news since 2011, following the beginnings of a popular uprising in the country and its subsequent violent repression. Eight years on, Joseph Daher analyses the resilience of the regime and the failings of the uprising, while also taking a closer look at the counter-revolutionary processes that have been undermining the uprising from without and within.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThrough a sharp reconstruction of the key historical developments, Daher focuses on the reasons behind the transition of a peaceful uprising into a destructive war with multiple regional and international actors. He argues that other approaches have so far neglected a global analysis of the conflict’s economic, social and political characteristics. He also shows that it is impossible to understand the Syrian uprising without a historical perspective dating back to the seizure of power by Hafez al-Assad in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA result of years of research and discussions with activists, students, members of political parties and Syrian academics, this book will be the go-to analysis of Syria for years to come.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222489682264,"sku":"9780745339382","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780745339382.jpg?v=1780386346","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/syria-after-the-uprisings","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
