Opis

This is the first book written in English to describe and analyze demographic and socioeconomic developments in Syria within the framework of demographic developments taking place throughout the Middle East during the second half of the 20th century. During the last 75 years, the Syrian population has increased dramatically, and the demographic-economic factor is a prime lever in political decision-making and change in both internal affairs and foreign relations. This work traces such a critical connection in the light of President Asad s policies."
