SUMMARY:Book Talk: Redefining Ceasefires
DESCRIPTION:Join PeaceRep and Marika Sosnowski for a talk on her new book\, Redefining Ceasefires: Wartime Order and Statebuilding in Syria.\n“Boys playing tug of war” (2020) by Shadi Abousada\nWhen: Thursday 14 September\, 2:30 – 4:00pm \nWhere: Moot Court Room\, Edinburgh Law School\, South Bridge\, Edinburgh EH8 9YL \nRegister now on Eventbrite. \nSince 2012\, ceasefires have been used in Syria to halt violence and facilitate peace agreements. However\, in a new 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. \nDrawing from the PA-X dataset\, rare primary documents and first-hand interviews with over eighty Syrians and other experts\, in this talk\, Marika draws from the book’s findings to present an innovative typology of ceasefires as a way to think through a range of heretofore underexamined impacts ceasefires can have on areas like rebel/local governance\, citizenship and property rights\, humanitarian access and economic networks. The categories of the typology will be illustrated with examples of ceasefires from arguably the most critical conflict of our time\, the Syrian civil war. \nRead more about the book: Redefining Ceasefires: Wartime Order and Statebuilding in Syria \nSpeakers\n\nLaura Wise\, PeaceRep Research Fellow and Programme Coordinator\nKasia Houghton\, ESRC Doctoral Researcher\, University of St Andrews\nMohamad Alashmar\, Doctoral Researcher & Fellow at the Centre for Syrian Studies\, University of St Andrews\n\nAbout the Author\nMarika Sosnowski is an Australian-qualified lawyer\, a Research Associate at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA) in Hamburg and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Melbourne Law School.
