We extend the coercive counterinsurgency framework offered by Monica Duffy Toft and Yuri Zhukov to analyze the Syrian regime's use of the twin tactical pillars of siege warfare and population control. We focus on how these two types of denial - military and political - proved essential to the regime's military victory.
