The Role of Ideology in Syrian-US Relations

Conflict and Cooperation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A study of US-Syria relations, this book analyzes the legacy of mistrust between the two states and continuities and discontinuities over time. It challenges the purely realist and power-political explanation that is dominant and points to a politically embedded set of ideas rooted in anti-colonial Arab nationalist ideology.
