520			_aThis special issue of the journal presents an extended analysis of the political, economic, security and international relations of Syria. Shows what has changed as a result of the transfer of power from Hafez al-Asad (who managed to create and maintain stability in the state) to his son Bashar (who early on tried a reformist agenda) and the changing external circumstances. Draws distinctions between the styles and organizations of the "old guard" and the "young guard".
