| Kitap Tanıtımı | As Bashar al-Asad rescinds emergency rule in the face of demonstrations and protests,Syria finds itself in a key position in a Middle East beset by regional tensions,the repercussions of the global war on terror and popular uprisings.The bloodless coup by General Hafez al-Assad,in 1970,put in place a powerful autocratic machinery at the core of the state which continues till today under the control of his son Bashar. Here, Radwan Ziadeh presents a fresh and penetrating analysis of Syria's political structure-a despotic state monopoly, a bureaucratic climate marked by fear, and the administrative structure through which centralized control is exercised. With a focus on Syria's intelligence services which have significant influence in legal and policy decisions,and the conditions and patterns of foreign policy decision-making, particularly vis-à-vis the US, 'Power and Policy in Syria' is essential reading for all those interested in Syria,the modern Middle East, International Relations and Security Studies.(Tanıtım Bülteninden)Sayfa Sayısı: 256Baskı Yılı: 2013Dili: İngilizceYayınevi: I B Tauris & Co Ltd) |
