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 SyriaOCOs political structure - a OCydespoticOCO state monopoly, a bureaucratic climate marked by fear, and the administrative structure through which centralized control is exercised. With a focus on SyriaOCOs 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._x000D__x000D_'A masterly study of Syrian politics in the Asad era, written with insight and feeling.
