Although this article by @shelleyliu.bsky.social is not recent, its relevance is clear as events unfold in Syria. The study analyzes how rebels consolidate power after civil war through strategies like leveraging ties in wartime strongholds or deploying loyal bureaucrats in unsecured areas.

As we witness the extraordinary events in Syria, I recommend reading work by @shelleyliu.bsky.social on what happens when rebels take power after civil war. She highlights how wartime experiences shape post-war patterns of governance 👇🏽 dukespace.lib.duke.edu/server/api/c...
