Abstract
AbstractThe paper explores the challenges faced by societies affected by active conflict, as they regain peace and social cohesion, by discussing perspectives from Syria. It argues that an “uneasy peace” that stays strained, but nevertheless holds, is emerging and likely to prevent the war from recurring. This peace emerges out of the conflict milieu, which creates losses and bitterness, but also opens possibilities for shifting and changing. These effects are characteristic for the half‐war/half peace period and could be assets to build peace upon, but they are unlikely to stay. Now is a pivotal time, when changes in society are taking place that will determine the shape of its future.
