DESCRIPTION
Noted Syrian political and economic analyst Samir Seifan provides an overview and assessment of the first five years of President Bashar al-Assad's program for economic reform. Seifan also examines the forces for—and obstacles to—reform in Syria and outlines in detail how the regime's goal of transition to a "social market economy" might best be achieved.
The book includes a summary of papers from the proceedings of the Conference on Economic Reform held in Damascus in November 2008.
