The conflict in Syria has had a devastating impact on its people-by the end of 2015, the United Nations estimated that over 250,000 people had died throughout the previous four years of conflict, over half of Syria's population had been displaced, and more than 4 million Syrians had sought refuge in neighbouring countries. How has Bashar al-Assad clung on to power? How can we explain the longevity of the conflict in Syria? Rather than focusing on sectarian identities or third party interventions, this thesis investigates a new variable-siege tactics. Based on survey responses from residents of besieged areas in Syria, and interviews with diplomatic and humanitarian officials, the study argues that an exploration of siege tactics highlights various factors that contributed to the intractability of the fighting. A system of categorising sieges is also proposed.
