| Summary: | Religious institutions are powerful actors in war torn societies and can play important roles in rebuilding countries after peace arrives. Despite their influence international actors involved in statebuilding rarely engage with them. This article builds upon an approach developed by the author in assessing the capacity of religious institutions to contribute to post-conflict statebuilding by applying it to Syria's indigenous Sunni institutions. By understanding the mechanisms through which Syria's Sunni religious institutions can contribute to statebuilding policy makers can better plan their engagement with these important figures in society. |
