Abstract
A change in Syria’s political opportunity structure allowed a social movement to form inside the country in 2011. Though the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood (SMB) was not part of the social movement, the Syrian uprising presented the SMB with an opportunity to return to the Syrian political arena. However, in contrast to the social movement, the SMB survived the metamorphosis of the Syrian uprising from a peaceful protest movement, to an insurgency, and a civil war. This chapter shows that although the SMB was not part of the social movement, it utilised some of the strategies employed by social movements to remain relevant throughout the changing landscape of the uprising.
