The objective of this paper is to examine how the Civil War in Syria has continued despite immense global impacts. The debate on security-development nexus as well as Human Security perspective are utilized to analyze the protracted nature of the conflict. Two paradigms of “Development as Violence Reduction” and “A Violence Called Development” have shaped the analysis. This study found that neoliberal approach has some limitations to explain the prolonged conflict. The other paradigm of “A violence called development” can better address the regionally structured problems of political, social and economic development in the Middle East that influenced Syrian situations. Inclusive society is a key as SDG 16 emphasizes for human security of the marginalized both in conflict zones and even in democracies. So-called Vernacular Security perspective is also useful to project the everyday reality of people’s insecurity. Balance should be made between institutional building approach and grass-root perspective to search for new alternatives. Keywords— human security, poltiical violence, securitydevelopment nexus, protracted conflict, Syria
