Syria, a conflict exarcebated by propaganda. [Reseña de] Syria in perspective. From externally aggravated crisis to national reconstruction de Pablo Sapag M.; Madrid: Ediciones Complutense, 2020

Abstract

In this book Professor Pablo Sapag approaches to a decade long Syrian crisis not yet completely solved. Along its 315 pages the author offers a wide range of clues to understand what has happened in Syria since March 2011, when in the midst of the socalled “Arab spring” the Syrian crisis erupted following similar events in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Among those answers outstands the intensive use of propaganda by all the parties involved in the crisis. Sapag frames that essential element of his book from a historical perspective which facilitates the theoretical understanding of the use and abuse of propaganda and how it has been channelled both through old and new media.
