"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

SURİYE’NİN SİYASİ VE EKONOMİK DIŞA AÇILIM POLİTİKALARI: AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ VE TÜRKİYE*
Yasin Atlıoğlu
ÖZET
1990’lı yılların başında Soğuk Savaş’ın sona ermesinden sonra Batılı devletlerce oluşturulmaya çalışılan yeni dünya düzeninden en fazla etkilenen Orta Doğu ülkesi, dış politikasını iki kutuplu uluslararası sistemdeki güç dengelerine ve Sovyetler Birliği’nden gelen askeri ve ekonomik yardıma bağlayan Suriye olmuştur. Bir anda yalnızlık içine düşen Suriye’nin, globalleşme, liberal demokrasi, serbest piyasa ekonomisi, insan hakları, uluslararası hukuk gibi değerleri savunduğunu söyleyen Batılı dünya içinde kendine yer bulma çabası, Hafız Esad iktidarının son on yılında başlamış olsa da planlı bir reform hareketi, 2000 yılında Beşşar Esad’ın iktidara gelmesiyle uygulamaya konmuştur. Bu çalışmada Suriye’nin zaman zaman ABD’yi de karşısına alarak AB ve Türkiye üzerinden gerçekleştirmek istediği siyasi ve ekonomik açılım politikası ele alınacaktır.
