Asad's regime in Syria has introduced great economic change over the last decade. Through analyzing the relationship between processes of economic and political liberalization in the domestic arena - and their repercussions internationally - this work develops possible future scenarios.

Synopsis:

While Ba'thi Syria is often considered the last bastion of Arab socialism, Asad's regime has introduced sweeping economic change over the last decade. Gradual and discreet in the mid-1980's, economic reform quickly gained momentum. The easing of political repression and Syria's participation in the Arab-Israeli peace process have also been highly significant. Through analyzing the complex relationship between processes of economic and political liberalization in the domestic arena - and their repercussions internationally - the contributors to the book develop possible scenarios of the future development of Syria and its role in the Middle East.
