Syria : Revolution From Above, Paperback / softback Book

Syria : Revolution From Above Paperback / softback

Part of the The Contemporary Middle East series

Paperback / softback

Description

This study examines the development of the Syrian state as it has emerged under thirty-five years of military-Ba'thist rule and, particularly, under President Hafiz al-Asad.

It analyzes the way in which the fragility of the post-independence state, unable to contain rising nationalist struggle and class conflict, opened the way to the Ba'th party's rise to power and examines how the Ba'th's 'revolution from above' transformed Syria's socio-political terrain.
