During the last seventy-five years, the Syrian population has increased almost twelve-fold; one of the highest rates in the Middle East. The demographic-economic factor is a prime component in political decision-making and change in both internal affairs and foreign relations. This critical connection is traced in the light of President Asad's policies. This text is the first volume in a series focusing on the major demographic developments and their socioeconomic consequences in the modern Middle East and North Africa. |

| Publisher Description: Winckler (Middle Eastern history, U. of Haifa, Israel) describes and analyzes demographic and socioeconomic developments in Syria within the framework of demographic developments taking place throughout the Middle East during the late 20th century. Noting that the Syrian population has increased almost twelve-fold during the last 75 years, Winckler makes connections between this phenomenal increase and the government's political decision-making and change in both internal affairs and foreign relations. |
