Abstract

​The splitting, renaming and merging of factions can lead to the start of new rivalries, or in some cases, end existing ones. A new faction may inherit the original faction's previous rivalries with other groups, and if a faction name change results in a total restructure, it may signal the end of the rivalry. However, this was not the case when Jabhat al-Nusra renamed itself Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, and later Tahrir al-Sham. It was considered a 'cosmetic' and superficial change because it did not develop a new structure. This article will shed light on exclusionary politics and the political ramifications of sectarianism caused by certain jihadist movements, such as Jabhat al-Nusra (presently known as Tahrir al-Sham), enabling us to analyse its practices, especially towards minorities, and sectarian ideologies present in Idlib, and which ultimately led to the expulsion of many who fled outside the governorate. The article also calls attention to the roles of regional and international powers in Idlib against the backdrop of opposition factions, and their physical and ideological influence on Islamist forces that frequently facilitated displacement within and outside the city.

  74. إنّ حصر سيل وكاتزنشتاين الانتقائية التحليلية في البردايمات الثلاثة (الواقعية والليبرالية والبنائية) يمكن أن يعزّز الهيمنة الأميركية على الحقل. تعتبر هذه المسألة حسّاسة جدًّا في الظرف الراهن الذي يسعى فيه علماء العلاقات الدولية لكسرر الهيمنة الأميركية على الحقل والتمركز الإثنو-غربي بصفة عامّة. ينظر على سبيل المثال: Arlene B.
