Syria politics involves a framework of a parliamentary republic where the power lies in the hands of the
President of Syria and the ruling Party.
Although officially
Syria is a parliamentary republic, in reality it is an authoritarian government that practices only the forms of a democratic system.
The President and his senior peers, specially the military men and the socialites, actually make most basic decisions in political and economic canvas. Though they receive a limited degree of public response, political opposition to the President is not tolerated at any cost.
The prominent party that rules three branches of government is the
Baath Party, whose importance in state institutions is guaranteed by the constitution. The party comprises the two-thirds majority in the
Syrian parliament. The party is now dominated by the military force that has a large share of Syria's economic resources.
Some of the famous
Presidents who ruled over
Syria are Muhammad 'Ali Bay al-'Abid, Hafez al-Assad, Hashim al-Atassi, Nureddin al-Atassi, Bashar al-Assad, Luai al-Atassi, Khalid al-Azm and Taj al-Din al-Hasani. Other than the
Baath party there are some more political parties that served Syria like the Syrian Communist Party, Syrian Democratic People's Party, Syrian Social Nationalist Party, Reform Party of Syria, Social Democratic Unionists, Socialist Unionists and Syrian-Lebanese Communist Party.
Syria is facing recent pressure from the international community on matters ranging from
Syria indulging with Lebanon in relation to support for terrorist groups.
Syria politics have seen many rulers and too many controversies but still on its way to a settled administration.
