One of the most striking recent developments in the modern Middle
East has been the transformation of Syria under Hafez al-Assad from
a weak, vulnerable and internally divided state to a leading
regional power. While this is increasingly acknowledged by
observers of the Middle Eastern scene , the scholarly discussion of
the origins, the scope, the durability and the implications of this
change is only beginning to take place. Syria Under Assad addresses
itself to this discussion. Based on a carefully selected collection
of original articles, this volume focuses on the elements of
Syria's power, on Syria's relations with each of its neighbours as
well as on Syria's relations with the superpowers. In the final
analysis, conclude the editors, Syrian policies appear paradoxical.
Its conduct ever since the advent of Hafez al-Assad exhibits subtle
and hard-nosed pragmatism. Yet, in order to consolidate the
domestic legitimacy of the Alawi Ba'athist regime, Syria has been
impelled to articulate its foreign policy goals in the far-flung
rhetoric of the Ba'athist ideology. As a result Syria is widely
perceived of as a menace and, treated as such, it often responds in
kind.
