Abstract EN
This study breaks from the prevailing discourse portraying minorities as victims, presenting them as multi-dimensional historical actors and analysing their relationship with political modernity and national construction.
It demonstrates how sectarian differences were sharpened and Ottoman culture facilitated the manipulation of minority groups by religious elites and the ruling clan.
The Assad regime, supported by Alawi clientelism, fuelled fear of Sunni Islam.
In addition, the revolution that began in 2011, accompanied by severe violent repression, has turned into a civil war.
The Assad employs sectarian vocabulary that targets the Sunni majority in favour of the Shia minority and Iran.
It views Damascus as the capital of minorities, seeking to restore demographic change in Syria.
The study discusses factors to encourage a pluralist future Syria and focuses on the issue of the state model that must be redefined, taking into account the existence of all sects that share the same political culture, and all of them, including the Sunnis, demand guarantees
