Ce régime a suivi, jusqu'au début des années 1990, une voie socialiste de développement, basée sur la Réforme agraire et le dirigisme économique, dans un but officiel de construction nationale. En tant que périphérie, mais aussi, et surtout, territoire de la communauté alaouite, la région côtière a largement bénéficié des investissements publics, quant à l'appareil d'Etat, il a assuré la promotion sociale des Alaouites. La région côtière est-elle pour autant intégrée à l'espace syrien ? La crise économique de la fin des années 1980 et l'« infitah » (ouverture économique) ont mis en évidence la fragilité du mode de développement ba'athiste sur laquelle était fondé le processus d'intégration de la région côtière à l'espace syrien. La région côtière est délaissée par le secteur privé, toujours dominé par la bourgeoisie sunnite des métropoles de l'intérieur de la Syrie (Damas, Alep, Homs et Hama). La cohésion nationale est également remise en cause, par le désengagement de l'Etat, au profit d'une fragmentation territoriale sur des bases ethnico-confessionnelles. La constitution d'une région alaouite sur la côte syrienne apparaît comme la conséquence de ce repli identitaire général, mais également l'utilisation par le régime de ses réseaux communautaires pour contrôler le pays.

14	The 1991 Madrid Peace Conference: U.S. Efforts Towards Lasting Peace in the Middle East Between Israel and its Neighbors Rodriguez, Fernando 20 May 2011 (has links) Over the years the Madrid Peace Conference has been relegated to paragraphs within history books and the importance of the conference seems to have been all but forgotten. While this may be due to the perceived failure of the talks to produce tangible peace negotiations, what one must take into consideration is the fact that neither the Oslo Accords nor the more recent â€œRoad Mapâ€ to peace would have been possible if it were not for that first steps taken in Madrid. One must also not forget the diplomacy and countless man hours that were put forth with tireless effort to achieve the goal of a peace conference that would be attended by all desired participants. When studying the Madrid Conference, one must look not only at the conference itself and the rhetoric conveyed by the delegates but also at their personalities and relationships with each other.

15	Demokrati är att vilja? : En fallstudie av demokratin i Syrien Mohammad, Shamo January 2016 (has links) The purpose of this study is to investigate why democracy has failed in Syria and which democratic theories that is appropriate to stop the starvation and misery in Syria. The country has been ruled by the Baath Party and the al-Assad family during four decades. The opposition could not create a common platform and they had lack of mutual trust, and no popular support. The weakness divided opposition because there are many ideologies, various ethnic and religious groups. The main theme of this study is democracy. I examine democracy from two theorists, Dahl and Putnam. I have investigated which of Dahl's democratic criteria can fulfill Syria and Putnam’s concept of social capital can explain and support Dahl's democratic criteria. Democracy is not just to remove a tyranny and by that I have investigated if there are weaknesses in the theory or difficult for people to apply the theory in reality if democracy fails. My thesis is a case study thus I see Syria as a unique case. The results have revealed that Dahl's theory for democracy is difficult to implement in Syria. There are no conditions for Dahl's theory. Putnam's social capital revealed that there is a threat to democracy in Syria. The norms and social networks in Putnam theory can support tribal and minority. But in Syria there are the numbers of minorities and with this theory can hate and conflict increase between groups .That can create nationalism values. The results also have revealed that people do not have the will to democracy. Baath Party al-Assad Dahl Putnam social capital Syria democracy.
