Since 2012, ceasefires have been used in Syria to halt violence and facilitate peace agreements. However, in this book, Marika Sosnowski argues that a ceasefire is rarely ever just a 'cease fire'. Instead, she demonstrates that ceasefires are not only military tactics but are also tools of wartime order and statebuilding. Bringing together rare primary documents and first-hand interviews with over eighty Syrians and other experts, Sosnowski offers original insights into the most critical conflict of our time, the Syrian civil war. From rebel governance to citizen and property rights, humanitarian access to economic networks, ceasefires have a range of heretofore underexamined impacts. Using the most prominent ceasefires of the war as case studies, Sosnowski demonstrates the diverse consequences of ceasefires and provides a fuller, more nuanced portrait of their role in conflict resolution.

'This important book analyzes the complex relationship between conflict dynamics, political order, and governance by zooming in on the political, societal, and strategic impact of ceasefires in the context of the Syrian civil war. It offers a nuanced, original analytical prism through which to better understand civil wars. Essential reading for both scholars and policymakers.' Benedetta Berti, Head of Policy Planning – NATO
