SUMMARY:Redefining Ceasefires: Wartime Order and Statebuilding in Syria and
  Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Ceasefires are often seen as way to halt violence with the aim 
 of facilitating more lasting peace agreements. However\, in her book Redef
 ining Ceasefires (CUP\, 2023) Marika Sosnowski argues that a ceasefire is 
 rarely ever just a “cease fire”. Instead\, using examples from the Syr
 ian civil war\, she demonstrates that ceasefires are not only military tac
 tics but are also tools of wartime order and statebuilding. Bringing toge
 ther rare primary documents and first-hand interviews with over eighty Syr
 ians and other experts\, Sosnowski offers original insights how ceasefires
  can affect elements of statebuilding including local governance\, citiz
 enship and property rights\, humanitarian access and economic networks. 
 The findings have relevance not only for Syria but for other current wars 
 like Ukraine and Gaza.\\r\\nMarika Sosnowski [https://law.unimelb.edu.au/a
 bout/staff/marika-sosnowski] is an expert on ceasefires\, local/rebel gov
 ernance and legal system with a geographical focus on Syria. The event wil
 l be moderated by Tobias Hagmann\, swisspeace/University of Basel and will
  delve into the themes of the book\, concluding with a Q&A session. It is 
 a public event\, and all are welcome to attend.\\r\\nDate/Time: Monday\,
