The Syrian conflict began in 2011 as a mass uprising, with protesters
gathering in one small town after the next to demand the end of a
40-year dictatorship. It quickly morphed into a complex, multi-sided
war. By 2014, the conflict was simultaneously a revolution, a civil war,
and a proxy war involving nearly a dozen countries. This report explores
how local social networks and socioeconomic class influenced the origins
and trajectory of Syria’s proxy war. In Syria, social networks and class
played a key role in determining which segments of the rebellion were
more susceptible to forming transnational linkages, and when those
linkages allowed foreign patrons to wield effective control over their
proxies.
