This book describes and explains sectarianization in Syria during the Arab uprising. It examines key debates over sectarianism from which a framework of analysis is derived. Then several chapters examine national level drivers of sectarianization and whether sectarianism was institutionalized by civil war governance in both regime- and opposition-controlled areas. Another set of chapters looks at variations in sectarianism in Syria's different cities, regions and communities.
