Syrian Foreign Policy under Bashar al-Asad

Year 2009, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 7 - 26, 14.07.2016

Abstract

Beşer Esad döneminde Suriye dış politikası, ülkenin geleneksel Arap milliyetçisi duru-
şu ve ekonomik reform programının gerektirdiği Batı merkezcilik arasında iki zıt yöne
doğru çekilmektedir. Israil ile yaşanan çatışma ve ABD’nin Irak’ı işgali devam eden
milliyetçi direnişi kamçılamaktadır. Ancak Suriye’nin piyasa ekonomisine yönelimi, ABD
hegemonyasının hakim olduğu dünya kapitalist sistemine entegre olmasını gerektirmektedir.
Bu makale Beşer’in babasından kalan dış politika mirasını, izlediği siyasetin
politik-ekonomi belirleyicilerini, reform projesini, Suriye’nin İsrail politikasını, ABD’ye
Irak üzerinden meydan okumasını, Lübnan’daki durumunu ve kendisinin de bir parçası
olduğu Ortadoğu’da verdiği daha geniş çaptaki mücadeleyi incelemektedir

Beşer Esad Dönemi Suriye Dış Politikası

Year 2009, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 7 - 26, 14.07.2016

Abstract

Syrian foreign policy under Bashar al-Asad is pulled in contrary directions by Syria’s traditional Arab nationalist stance and the West-centric imperatives of its economic reform program. The conflict with Israel and the US invasion of Iraq stimulate continuing nationalist resistance but the success of Syria’s move to a market economy requires integration into the world capitalist system, dominated by the US hegemon. This essay examines Bashar’s foreign policy inheritance from his father, the political economy determinants of his policies, his reform project, Syria’s policy toward Israel, its defiance of the US over Iraq, its involvement in Lebanon, and the broader struggle for the Middle East of which Syria is a part
