It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.In From Jihad to Politics, Jerome Drevon offers a comprehensive examination of the Syrian armed opposition, tracing the emergence of Jihadi groups in the conflict, their increasing dominance, and their political transformation. Drawing upon extensive field research and interviews with Syrian insurgents in northwestern Syria and Turkey, Drevon demonstrates how the context of a local conflict can shape combatants groups' behavior in unexpected ways. Further, he marshals unique evidence from the Arab world's most intense conflict of this century to explain why the trajectory of the broader transnational Jihadi movement has altered course in recent years. 606 $aJihad$xPolitical aspects$zSyria 606 $aIslam and politics$zSyria 606 $aIslamic fundamentalism$zSyria 607 $aSyria$xPolitics and government$y2000- 615 0$aJihad$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aIslamic fundamentalism 676 $a322/.1095691 700 $aDrevon$b Jerome$01846944 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911022280003321 996 $aFrom Jihad to Politics$94431896 997 $aUNINA
