dc.description	Duration of civil wars has been an elusive area of study particularly because of the tedious task of disentangling the interplay of actors’ agencies, incentives' structures and constraints. This article tackles Syria’s civil war that has completed its fifth year with little hope for an end any time soon. I examine a plausible cause leading to its protraction. Namely the formation of a war system, which made the costs of war less than the expected risks of peace giving the local, regional and international actors that are shouldering the costs. The war system approach combines class analysis with system-structural analysis capturing nuances and dynamics of conflict. This article is based in part based on primary sources collected by author in the Summers of 2014 and 2015 in Lebanon.	en-US
dc.description	La duración de las guerras civiles ha sido un área de estudio elusiva, particularmente debido a la difícil tarea de dilucidar la interacción entre el agenciamiento de los actores, las estructuras de incentivos y las restricciones a las que se enfrentan dichos actores. Este artículo aborda la guerra civil de Siria, la cual ha completado su quinto año con pocas esperanzas de una pronta finalización. Se examinó aquí una posible causa de su prolongación, a saber, la formación de un sistema de guerra que hizo que los costos de la guerra fueran menores comparados con los riesgos que se esperaban de un acuerdo de paz, dados los costos asumidos por los actores locales, regionales e internacionales. El acercamiento a estos asuntos a través del concepto de sistema de guerra combina un análisis de clase con un análisis de sistema estructural, capturando así los matices y las dinámicas del conflicto. Este artículo se basa, en fuentes primarias recolectadas por el autor durante los veranos de 2014 y 2015 en Líbano.	es-ES
