Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the role of siege warfare and population control in the coercive counterinsurgency strategy used by the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad to effectively crush the revolution that began in 2011. We extend the coercive counterinsurgency framework offered by Monica Duffy Toft and Yuri Zhukov to analyze the Syrian regime’s use of the twin tactical pillars of siege warfare and population control. We focus on how these two types of denial – military and political – proved essential to the regime’s military victory.

既非和平,也非民主:在叙利亚政权的强制性反叛乱行动中,围城和人口控制的作用
本文探讨了围城战和人口控制在叙利亚巴沙尔·阿萨德政权用于有效镇压2011年开始的革命的强制性反叛乱战略中的作用。我们扩展了莫妮卡·达菲·托夫特和尤里·朱可夫提出的强制性反叛乱框架,以分析叙利亚政权对攻城战和人口控制这两大战术支柱的使用。我们关注的是这两种类型的否认——军事上的和政治上的——是如何证明对该政权的军事胜利至关重要的。
