"Dans la sinistre comptabilité de l’exil, la Syrie fournit le plus gros contingent de réfugiés internationaux au monde. Si la Turquie en accueille le plus grand nombre, c’est le Liban qui produit l’effort le plus conséquent, avec 1 réfugié pour 4 habitants (en France, le taux est de 1 pour 700). Le Liban, et à travers lui le Proche-Orient, offre donc un point de vue privilégié pour mieux saisir la complexité et les enjeux des migrations internationales contemporaines."

In the aftermath of World War I, Syria paved a path towards democracy. Initially as part of the French mandate in the Middle East and latterly as an independent republic, Syria put in place the instruments of democratic government that it was hoped would lead to a stable future. This book tells the story of modern Syria's formative years, using previously unseen material from the personal papers of Ahmad Sharabati, a prominent nationalist who served in different capacities during colonial times and early independence, first as minister of education and then as minister of defence. His experiences and those of others of his generation tell the story of Syria's short-lived democratic years, up to the union with Egypt as the United Arab Republic in 1958.

Anyone who follows world events has heard of the Muslim Brotherhood. Usually considered a fundamentalist religious organisation opposed to secular regimes, the so-called Arab Spring began to challenge this conception, and showed the MB's commitment to democratic principles and elections, albeit with certain difficulties. Until now though, most analysis has focused on the Egyptian branch - the group that gave spiritual birth to the local branches in other countries - with very little having been studied about the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, especially since the Hama massacre of 1982 and the formal disappearance of the group from Syria. This book provides a deep insight into the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood's ideological evolution from its inception until present-day. Since Syria has unfortunately become the place where all forms of Islamism converge, understanding the SMB, their ideological evolution, and their potential role as moderating forces, is essential in order to debunk some cliches on the MB in general. Each chapter corresponds to a specific period in the SMB's timeline, while the final chapter discusses how the endemic gerontocracy of the group calls for an urgent renovation of structures, and stresses the importance of younger generations in renovating the ideology of the SMB. Through the examination of original primary sources written by the SMB themselves, and relevant groups related to them, this book challenges the traditional categories applied to Islamist movements.

"La 4e de couverture indique : "En croisant mémoires, presses et documents déclassifiés, Matthieu Rey éclaire les fondements de la Syrie contemporaine et son histoire tumultueuse. Il nous invite à suivre le devenir toujours incertain d'une communauté politique réunissant des populations variées, des hommes et des femmes qui s'installent et s'organisent sur un territoire. Récit de la renaissance des campagnes environnant les villes au détriment des mondes nomades, histoire des migrations des Druzes du Liban vers la Syrie, des Montagnards vers les plaines, des campagnes vers les villes, c'est aussi une narration politique ponctuée par des révolutions et des guerres qui donnent naissance à un état dont le cours de l'histoire se révèle dans la crise révolutionnaire. Depuis 2011, la Syrie, chasse gardée de la famille Assad, se trouve au coeur d'une dramatique actualité internationale, déchirée par la guerre civile.Son histoire n'est-elle pas finalement celle d'espoirs, de heurts, d'essais, d'attentes, de luttes, de violences et de projets partagés entre groupes humains qui tentent de créer les conditions d'un vivre-ensemble dans lequel chacun ait sa place ? Chargé de recherche au CNRS et chercheur associé au Collège de France, Matthieu Rey consacre ses recherches à la question de la construction de l'état dans l'Orient arabe et persan."
