Expectations were high that Bashar will initiate political, social and economic reforms. These expectations began to fade when Bashar‘s policies started looking more of an extension of his father‘s policies. Though Bashar introduced significant domestic economic reforms, his foreign policy choices remained anchored on his father‘s geopolitical principles. Nevertheless, Bashar‘s geopolitical world changed after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. This thesis examines how Bashar responded to the geopolitical threats unleashed by the invasion and occupation of Iraq. It traces the continuity and change in Syria‘s foreign policy under Bashar in a number of pertinent geopolitical theatres, namely Lebanon, Iran, Turkey and Iraq. The thesis closes by evaluating the impact the 2011 popular protests in Syria on Bashar‘s foreign policy choices.1 bound copy: vii, 78 leaves; 31 cm. available at RNL.Lebanese American University2011-12-13T12:17:51Z2011-12-13T12:17:51Z20112011-12-132011-09-29Thesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttp://hdl.handle.net/10725/1043https://doi.org/10.26756/th.2011.43eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:laur.lau.edu.lb:10725/10432023-03-29T11:01:54Z
