Abstract
The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.Ellen Lust-Okar is one of a few scholars who have examined the
prospects for political reform and democratization in Syria. Given
the delicate stability of Syria's authoritarian regime and the
weakness of the political opposition in the country, Lust-Okar
believes that the prospects for democratization in Syria are dim.
However, she argues, it would be counterproductive for the
United States to push for regime change in Syria, in part because
of the difficulty and instability encountered in trying to establish
democracy in Iraq.Ohio State University. Mershon Center for International Security StudiesEvent webpag
