This article critically examines the possibilities of internationalism in the Middle East, in the context of the region’s profound reconfiguration within contemporary globalised capitalism. It argues that today’s internationalism must be rooted in the regional mutations of capital and power, namely the emergence of a logistical mode of capital reproduction and the geo-economic structure of multipolarity, in which a plurality of competing powers and forms of imperial domination strive to control the spaces of capital circulation. By tracing the historical transformations and the reconfiguration of political divides after the Cold War to the current context of war, crystallised in particular in Syria, the article examines the contradictions and asynchronies that mark the liberation struggles in the region today, reflecting on the strategic dilemmas of building a new internationalist praxis capable of synchronising heterogeneous uprisings without flattening their singularities.
