A geopolitical panorama of Syria from 2000 to 2010, under the presidency of the young Bashar al-Assad. The fruit of thirty years of reporting in the field, one that casts new and highly original light upon the current situation in the Middle East.
This politically aware presentation of Syria today is the long-awaited work that fills the gap on the subject and offers the means to comprehend in geopolitical terms what is currently at stake in the Middle East. First of all, the authors present a retrospective analysis of the birth of Arab nationalism and the regional consequences of the creation of the State of Israel. They deal with the “booby-trapped heritage” of Hafez al-Assad in Syria, the difficulties his son Bashar has had in imposing his rule, and the consequences of the fall of Baghdad in 2003. They reveal as well how the assassins of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri attempted to overthrow the Syrian regime and how the “global war against terrorism” has added to the chaotic situation in the Middle East. In conclusion, this work offers an overview of the political and economic opening of Syria, now incontestably regaining its position as the hub of the Middle East.
