This article discusses a key challenge in bringing about peace in civil war: credible commitment problems. Utilizing the ‘perfect’ example of the Syrian Civil War, it illuminates upon why they are challenging and therefore require solutions. The Syrian Civil War will inevitably end in military victory for the Assad regime, though it nevertheless supplies evidence that credible commitment problems are significant hindrances to conflict termination.
