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-a-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."--Bloomsbury publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of international relations (Series) ;$v76. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$xDiplomatic history 606 $aMediation, International 606 $aArmed conflict$2BIC 607 $aIsrael$xForeign relations$zSweden 607 $aSweden$xForeign relations$zIsrael 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xDiplomatic history. 615 0$aMediation, International. 615 7$aArmed conflict. 676 $a327.5 700 $aEriksson$b Jacob$01067551 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511498603321 996 $aSmall-state mediation in international conflicts$92551394 997 $aUNINA
