Explaining Syria By
Explaining Syria by Esmond Wei An honors thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Undergraduate College Leonard N. Stern School of Business New York University May 2015 Professor Marti G. Subrahmanyam Professor Joseph Foudy Faculty Adviser Thesis Adviser Acknowledgments I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to my thesis adviser, Professor Joseph Foudy. Throughout this entire process of formulating, conducting, and articulating this thesis, Professor Foudy has been there to provide insight, direction, and resources to make this entire endeavor possible. I appreciate all that he has done throughout the school year and recognize that none of this would be possible without him. I would also like to thank Professor Marti Subrahmanyam for his commitment to the Stern Honors Program. It was truly an unique program to participate in and it would not have been possible without Professor Subrahmanyam and others committing to the program in the manner that they have. Explaining Syria Abstract: The Middle-East has historically been a hotbed of tension, instability, and conflict. Yet, despite the volatile dynamics in the region, until recent years, the region has been governed surprisingly resilient regimes. Only recently, did the Arab Spring dislodge these resilient governments. As the spotlight is currently on the world’s response against the Islamic State and the ongoing civil war in Syria, the popular explanation to this conflict is that sectarianism drove Syria into this crisis. However, we believe that sectarianism alone did not cause the war. Rather, it was a regime that enacted economic policies that strengthened its grip on power but sacrificed long-term effects on growth. -

Liberal Tought in the Eastern Mediterranean
Liberal !ought in the Eastern Mediterranean Late 19th Century until the 1960s Edited by Christoph Schumann LEIDEN • BOSTON 2008 !!"#$%&''()*(+,-+./+'00111+++"#$%&''()*(+,-+./+'00111+++ 223*435667111*8598621:;3*435667111*8598621:; CHAPTER THREE “LIBERAL COLONIALISM” AND MARTIAL LAW IN FRENCH MANDATE SYRIA Michael Provence Introduction Imperialism has dramatically returned to the Middle East. For many in the region, particularly in Palestine, the age of colonialism never ended, but some intellectuals in Europe and America have welcomed a new age of muscular imperialism. Niall Ferguson, for whom the principal lament of today’s neo-imperialism is that Winston Churchill can no longer lead its charge and Rudyard Kipling can no longer sing its praises, writes widely from his endowed Harvard chair. Many glib commentators like to blame all the problems of the Middle East today on British and French imperial maneuvers to fashion dependencies out of the lost provinces of the Ottoman Empire—as if malicious European diplomats somehow invented the ancient !ssures between Shiites and Sunnis, or willfully encouraged Jewish settlers to colonize Palestine.1 European diplomats of the interwar Middle East may not have been malicious, but widespread ignorance, short-sighted incompetence, and self-delusion certainly bequeathed a miserable inheritance to the post- colonial era. Colonial authorities zealously exploited and deepened sectarian and class cleavages in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. More than encouraging Jewish colonization, British politicians quite literally deeded Palestine to Europe’s Zionist movement, and in so doing gave the world the Arab-Israeli con"ict. In the Middle East, endless su#ering and misery are widely viewed as the colonial legacy of the twentieth century. -

A Biography of Zakī Al-Arsūzī
CHAPTER 1 A Biography of Zakī al-Arsūzī Written by Hiroyuki Aoyama Revised by Malek Salman Introduction This Chapter is a comprehensive biography of Zakī al-Arsūzī, seeking to clarify the background against which his linguo-philosophical and political ideologies are based. It highlights the significant role al-Arsūzī played in politicizing Arab nationalism. The factual outline of al-Arsūzī’s personal history is mainly derived from “≈ayāt al-Arsūzī fī Suªūr (A Brief Account of al-Arsūzī’s Life),”1 which offers the earliest and reliable biographical article. Based on this article, some details are added by referring to the following studies and documents: al-Arsūzī’s Al-Mu’allafāt al-Kāmilah (Complete Works), memoirs of al-Arsūzī’s disciples, and previous literature written on al-Arsūzī’s linguistic and philosophical theories. When contradictory information is found, supplementary comments are provided in the endnotes. The Early Days At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, Syria witnessed a series of rapid political changes. Although the Ottoman Empire had ruled the Arab East, including Syria, for about four hundred years, it was shaken by the political interference of the European powers on one hand, and by the rise of the Arab nationalist movement, on the other. After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War, Prince Fay≠al, sharīf (governor of Mecca) ≈usayn’s son, declared the Arab government in Damascus for a short period, preceding the French mandate. - 1 - The Alexandretta Province, where Zakī al-Arsūzī spent his early days with his family, was also not exempted from the turmoil of all these political changes.2 Zakī al-Arsūzī (Zakī bn Najīb bn Ibrāhīm al-Arsūzī) was born in June 1900 as the youngest of four brothers and a sister of an ‘Alawi family in Latakia.3 His father, Najīb, was a lawyer, also known as a member of an Arab clandestine society opposing the Ottoman rule. -
