  • The Arab Socialist Baath Party: Preparing for the Post-War
    Bawader, 8th August 2017 The Arab Socialist Baath Party: Preparing for the Post- War Era → Sokrat Al-Alou A Syrian reading the Ba’ath newspaper, March 2005 © Youssef Badawi / EPA Since the outbreak of the Syrian revolution, the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party has made several organizational changes and repositioned itself within the state. In February 2012, a constitutional amendment abolished Article 8, which had enshrined the party’s rule and role in leading society (though the Syrian opposition regarded this as a formality rather than a substantive change). In June 2013, the party initiated a remarkable change in the Ba’ath Regional Command, with a number of historic long-standing members, such as former vice-president Farouk al- Sharaa and the Assistant Regional Command Secretary Mohamad Said Bkheitan losing their seats. And in late 2016 the Regional Command made drastic changes in 11 Syrian provinces, including two provinces outside of regime control, and three major universities. However, the most significant development came on 22 April 2017, when Bashar al- Assad chaired a meeting of the Ba’ath Central Committee, during which more than half of the Regional Command members were removed1 and a new Central Committee and Monitoring Committee2 were formed.3 These internal changes to the party are not insignificant, particularly amid current turmoil and local, regional, and international developments that may bring the Syrian conflict closer to resolution. The organizational changes represent an effort to shore up loyalty to Assad and the party more generally both at the level of the leadership structure but also in society at large through the reactivation of the party’s socio-economic divisions.
