本文评估了阿萨德政权的空中轰炸对叙利亚正在进行的内战中一个经常被忽视的组成部分的影响：反对派治理。虽然对此类袭击的军事和人道主义后果进行了广泛的分析，但这些观点没有考虑到阿萨德政权的反叛乱努力是如何颠覆叙利亚各种反叛组织的治理实践的。利用对“国家”的表现方法，我们认为反对派团体通过两项关键的福利服务——面包和医疗保健——每天颁布的“国家”构成了对现任者的历史影响和当地基础的批评。如果执行成功，这样的立法可以稳定统治者和被统治者之间的关系，同时提供另一种政体的愿景。他们也可以吸引竞争对手的注意。因此，阿萨德政权对反对派控制地区的空中轰炸既不是一种偶然的军事战略，也不仅仅是长期宗派仇恨的产物，而是一种蓄意的策略，旨在摧毁对其权威的一个关键威胁。
This article assesses the impact of the Assad regime’s aerial bombardment campaign on a frequently neglected component of Syria’s ongoing civil war: rebel governance. While analysis of the military and humanitarian ramifications of such attacks has been extensive, these perspectives fail to consider how the Assad regime’s counter insurgency efforts subvert governance practices by Syria’s diverse rebel groups. Drawing on performative approaches to the ‘state’, we argue that opposition groups’ daily enactments of ‘stateness’ via two key welfare services – bread and healthcare provision – constitute a historically inflected and locally grounded critique of the incumbent. When executed successfully, such enactments can stabilize relations between rulers and ruled while offering a vision of an alternative polity. They can also attract the attention of rivals. The Assad regime’s aerial bombing campaign of rebel-held areas is thus neither a haphazard military strategy nor simply the product of long-standing sectarian hatreds, but a deliberate tactic through which it seeks to destroy a key threat to its authority.
