This book examines the modern history of post-mandatory Syria. The
evolution of the Syrian ideology and policy of neutralism since the
early stages of the Cold War is explained, and the effects that
Arab neutralism had on shaping Syria's foreign policy and the
shaping of its national identity are identified. ... The phenomenon
of Arab neutralism has never before been comprehensively
investigated. The prevailing belief is that the formulation and
realization of the policy of anti-alignment began only during
Nasser's first years in power in Egypt. However, the author
demonstrates that the roots of neutralism were already sown in Arab
soil in the early 1940s, and that successive Syrian governments
carved out this policy during the final stages of World War II. ...
A core issue in the analysis is the dynamic between ideology and
policy. A conceptual framework is developed to explain the various
patterns of neutralism that emerged, and the complex of
relationships between features exhibited by Syria, the Arab world,
and the Third World. The book makes extensive use of newly
declassified material gleaned from archives in India, the former
USSR, Poland, Britain, the United States and Israel; primary
sources, studied and interpreted in the original Arabic, are also
widely utilized.
