This article examines the patterns of international interventions in Syria from 1946 to 2011 in the three sub-periods 1946-1970, 1971-1997 and 1998-2011. It underlines the weakness of existing literature on the causes of international intervention in Syria in 2011. The author argues that the consecutive international interventions in Syria from 1946 to 2011 reflect interwoven relations between the capitalist system, imperialist interventions for the regime change and domestic factors.

The Political analysis of the Syrian crises and the zero-problem policy with Syria Arslantaş, Şenol; Bölükbaşıoğlu, Süha; Department of International Relations (2013) This thesis aims to analyze both the evolution of Turkish-Syrian relations during the period of the AKP governments and the emergence of the Syrian revolt in March 2010. With the popular revolts in many Arab countries starting in December 2010, Turkey’s general foreign policy vision, which had already undergone considerable changes from the traditional foreign policy of Turkey under the rule of the AKP government, was deeply affected by the Arab revolts. With the newly-emerged political and social conjunctu...
Impact of neopatrimonialism on the trajectory of the conflict in Syria Belal, Salaymeh; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2018) This thesis attempts to understand the impact of the nature of the Assad regime on the trajectory of the conflict which took place in Syria following the 2011 uprising. It argues that the Assad regime which has been ruling Syria since 1970 represents a case of neopatrimonial regime. The thesis elaborates the neopatrimonial conceptualization tracing the concept back to its Weberian roots. It follows the evolution of the concept from the ‘traditional’ patrimonialism to the modern ‘neo’ patrimonialism. The the...
The role of the international community in the democratisation process in bosnia-herzegovina Rüma, Şadan İnan; Tayfur, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2008) This thesis analyses the role of the International Community in the democratisation in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). The main theoretical approach adopted is the Critical Theory as represented mainly by Robert Cox. Cox argued that there was an interaction between the organisation of production, the forms of state, and the world orders. The form of state that the International Community aimed at establishing in BiH following the Dayton Agreement is analysed in relation to the transnationalisation of the world or...
Syrian Armenians during the last decades of the nineteenth and the first quarter of the twentieth centuries Memiş (Eroğlu), Şerife; Turan, Ömer; Department of Middle East Studies (2007) This thesis analyses the situation of the Syrian Armenians during the last decades of the nineteenth and the first quarter of the twentieth centuries. The central position of the Provinces of Aleppo and Damascus, parts of today’s Syria, for both the Armenian communities of Aleppo and Damascus and the Ottoman Empire are the main incentives that determine the focus of this study as Syrian Armenians. Apart from the representation of the social, economic, political, religious, cultural and educational life of t...
Conflict and cooperation: Syria-United States Relations Through 1970-2011 Tığrak, Fatih; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of Middle East Studies (2012) This thesis analyzes the dynamics of bilateral relationship between the United States of America and Syrian Arab Republic from Hafez Asad’s grasp of power in 1970 to the latest domestic uprising of 2011. The relationship will be considered under three main vectors; struggle over Lebanon, tensions regarding peace process and Israel, and rogue statehood of Syria attributed by the United States. .
