Syria's War Economy:Characteristics,Operating Mechanism and Future Prospects
The war economy is a key component of the Syrian civil war.Wartime political,military,and security dynamics on both domestic and regional fronts as well as pre-war socio-economic networks jointly shaped the basic configurations of the Syrian war economy,which is characterized by coercive extraction,the strengthening of economic monopoly,expansion of the informal economy,parallel economic fragmentation and interdependence,and growing influences of external factors on Syria's economy.At the micro level,the operation of Syria's war economy is underpinned by economic activities of various actors participating in the combat economy,wartime speculative economy and coping economy.As of 2018,the war economy has impacted indirectly on the duration and trajectories of the Syrian civil war through mechanisms of war financing,competition over economic resources,and feeding the coping economy.Since the end of 2019,multiple factors at home and abroad have triggered grave economic and humanitarian crisis in Syria and significantly reformulated the operating mechanism and characteristics of Syria's war economy,which will have complex and far-reaching impacts on conflict resolution and post-war reconstruction in Syria.
