Syria in perspective. From externally aggravated crisis to national reconstruction

Syria in perspective. From externally aggravated crisis to national reconstruction est de l'auteur Sapag Muñoz de la Peña, Pablo et essaye

This book is about the Syrian crisis, both its internal causes and the  part played by regional and global powers. At the heart of this analysis is a key element of Syrian society: its ingrained interconfessional character deriving from the historical presence on its soil of various religious faiths. Powerful minorities have, however, repeatedly applied political and military pressure to force the state to abandon its non-religious and non-discriminatory character. The authorÆs review of scholarly texts is combined with research in Syria andáother countries. He has conducted interviews with religious leaders, NGO personnel, combatants, displaced people and other victims. Among those interviewed is the Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, who offers his perspective on the crisis and on the countryÆs past and future.
