In The Consequences of Syria, Lee Smith analyzes the current U.S. administration’s stance on Syria, questioning whether it will build the foundations of a new Middle East or usher in an era of instability that will affect the entire world. The author contends that the many apparent shifts in the administration’s Syria policy were part of a messaging campaign intended to camouflage President Obama’s determination to stay out of the Syrian conflict. Smith concludes that the next White House will have to deal with a region that contains more violence, betrayed allies, emboldened adversaries, and an Iran almost on the verge of a nuclear breakout that will further destabilize a vital strategic region.

English | ISBN: 3031636074 | 2024 | 290 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book examines cross-cultural encounters of the Jesuit missionary enterprise in early modern Southwest Asia. It analyzes the early mission to Syria, paying attention to the key interlocutors of the Jesuits and the many challenges they experienced in their exchanges with other Europeans, Ottoman officials, and Eastern Christians. It demonstrates that there was nominal Muslim-Christian dialogue and important relationships formed between the Jesuits and their Christian and Muslim hosts. The Jesuits in Syria shows that the Jesuits worked in a very complex environment, where competing factions of Europeans, European religious, Eastern Christians, Arab Muslims, Turkish officials, and Turkish Muslims, not to mention "renegades," played important roles.

Free Download Syria and Saudi Arabia: Collaboration and Conflicts in the Oil Era By Sonoko Sunayama
2007 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 1845113020 | PDF | 5 MB
The nature of the relationship between Syria and Saudi Arabia during the oil era poses many questions for the commentators and analysts of inter-Arab politics during this period. Why have these two states pursued mutually conflicting aims in almost every major regional or international foreign policy issue? Why, over the course of the past thirty years, have they often propagated contrasting ideological banners while both acting as though some form of an alignment existed between them? Here Sonoko Sunayama explores the apparent paradox behind this longstanding relationship and argues that what ultimately makes Saudis and Syrians so indispensable to each other is the perception and the historical appeal of ‘shared identities’, be they Arabism or Islam.

Free Download Syria and the New World Order By Neil Quilliam
1999 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 0863722490 | PDF | 8 MB
The advent of the New World Order has challenged Syria’s role in the Middle East. Traditionally viewed as a pariah state and a Soviet satellite, Syria’s future looked uncertain as the balance of world power moved out of Soviet into US control, causing the withdrawal of Soviet support and threatening Syria’s quest for regional hegemony. Syria, however, has been able to adapt to the transformation in the world order. Dr Quilliam maintains that Syrian foreign policy has been determined by both domestic politics and international political realities. He begins by defining Syria in terms of its domestic arena: its geography (both physical and political), natural resources, history, population and economy. He then discusses the governing system of the country, detailing the different political parties and how the system actually functions in Syria. Moving to the international political system, the author then expands upon the regional balance of power and Syria’s relations with her neighbors. Following a rational policy, the Syrian state was compelled to realign itself with the US-led world order in an attempt to pursue regional hegemony. It was able to do this by joining the US-led coalition forces in the liberation of Kuwait in 1990/91 and was rewarded with a place in the postwar regional order and a central role in the Madrid Peace Conference. Syria and the New World Order is a clear and comprehensive account of Syria’s adjustment to the realities of the day.
