The Levant in Turmoil by Martin Beck
Since the early weeks of the so-called Arab Spring, high hopes for democratic, social, and political change in the Middle East have been met with varying degrees of frustration. In the sub-region of the Levant, regional uprisings have turned to violent conflict in places such as Syria, Iraq, and the Gaza Strip. In Syria, popular unrest has caused enormous human suffering in one of the most brutal civil wars the region ever has witnessed, yet the international community has shown an appalling inability to act. Taking the war in Syria as its central point of reference, this book raises the question of whether the developments in the Levant might lead not only to processes of regime change, but also to a fundamental alteration of its entire state system.-

“A collection of nine scholarly essays by prominent experts, The Levant in Turmoil: Syria, Palestine, and the Transformation of Middle Eastern Politics is a multidisciplinary work about how the ongoing Syrian civil war is transforming the geography, history, and culture of the Levant… The Levant in Turmoil: Syria, Palestine, and the Transformation of Middle Eastern Politics will be of interest to both students and scholars alike whose scholarship focuses on the broader Middle East.” (ASQ – Arab Studies Quarterly, Vol. 39 (1), 2017)
