Description

The social and economic forces that worked together to bring the Ba'thist party to power in 1963: the failure of traditional and liberal leadership, an agrarian crisis, the development of party ideology, the politicization of the army and rural mobilization - are examined in this study.

Dr Hinnebusch aims to show how the Ba'th's road to power shaped its ideology and the character of its rule.

Attention is then given to the pillars of state power - the army, political organizations and the peasantry.

The author concludes that the regime has pursued a dual strategy for maintaining power - placing kin and clientelist networks at the levers of coercive power and building structures based on the mass incorporation of the rural population.
