Syrian political consciousness is undergoing a profound transformation following the change of the Ba’ath regime in 2024, after decades of security-driven rule and totalitarian dominance. The 2011 movement in Syria during the so-called “Arab Spring” marked a shift in collective awareness, expressing a desire for liberation and citizenship, but it collided with authoritarian responses that produced a state of repression. In the absence of a unifying national framework, trajectories vary between currents of rupture, reconciliation, and religious projects, while Syria’s future remains contingent on the society’s ability to overcome division and build a new social contract.
