  "abstract": "The Syrian identity crisis in the form of the civil war is entering its eighth year, claiming the lives of approximately 400,000 people and provoking the displacement of more than eleven million people. Consequently, this article is motivated by the desire to demystify Syria through unveiling the complex internal dynamics and how these complexities came to be, in addition to a humanitarian concern for the human cost of the Syrian identity crisis. The focus is to investigate the effect of colonialism on the Syrian national identity. This theoretical investigation analyses sources from a post-colonial constructivist perspective and argues that the Syrian identity crisis can be traced back to colonialism. The results suggest that the Syrian experience of colonisation has informed current identity politics in Syria. Overall, the findings of this work suggest that former colonisers bear a degree of responsibility for the identity crisis that has since unfolded in Syria. This work contributes to understandings of identity politics. Explicitly, the significance of identity within the Syrian experience suggests that identity is a noteworthy factor that can shape both domestic and international politics and thus, requires more attention.",
