The turmoil is attributed to 'ancient sectarian differences', putatively primordial forces that make violent conflict intractable. In media and policy discussions, sectarianism has come to possess trans-historical causal power. This book trenchantly challenges the lazy use of 'sectarianism' as a magic-bullet explanation for the region's ills, focusing on how various conflicts in the Middle East have morphed from non-sectarian (or cross-sectarian) and nonviolent movements into sectarian wars. Through multiple case studies - including Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen and Kuwait - this book maps the dynamics of sectarianisation, exploring not only how but also why it has taken hold. The contributors examine the constellation of forces - from those within societies to external factors such as the Saudi-Iranian rivalry - that drive the sectarianisation process and explore how the region's politics can be de-sectarianised.
