Dear colleagues! We know that the two ideologies are very similar (pan-Arab nationalism, socialist ideas). Yet I have read that Baathism was more radical, more left, since it did not confine itself to the agrarian reform, but aimed at creating an overwhelming state sector in industry. But I can object to this, pointing out that the share of that sector in Egypt under 'Abd-un-Nasir reached 85%. Does the difference boil down to the simple fact that Nasserism centred on a certain leader, while Baathism did not? And that Nasserism centred on Egypt, while Baathism "was divided" between Syria and Iraq? Or were there indeed any serious socio-economic differences in the programmes?
Although Nasser-ism was infused with many socialist ideas, Baath ism was a more ideological form of Arab socialism.. Parallels can be drawn between Baathist and Nasser ideology as both espoused Arab nationalist sentiment, as well as anti-imperialist and broad socialist claims. Still, differences between them are evident; for example Nasser-ism did not have a pan-Arab organization, whereas the Baath party ad regional offices in several Arab countries. Additionally, Baathist was not tied to a specific leader, as Nasser-ism obviously was. Although Baathist was strongly associated with Aflaq, the Ba’th party did not depend on his personality to carry on.
In addition to what Dr. Grover mentioned above, opposition to Israel was one the main goals of Nasserite Arab Nationalism. Further, Nasserism was mainly in Egypt and Syria but Baath party has different national permutations. With respect to nationalism, Baathism might have a stronger nationalist component than Nasserism.
In the final analysis, the Nasserist-Ba'athist relationship is a consensus or a contradiction. In the final analysis, it is the relationship of the national movement to itself, for despite all the natural differences between them and those necessitated by the conflict's deterioration, they object objectively and in their self-perception to one political- Meet the challenges of the times.
In this context, the researcher deals with the Nasserite-Baathist relationship through an exploratory study in the crisis of the development of the Arab revolution. This study has neglected its research as an academic subject or even through intellectual work to date. And over a period of time beyond thirty years. It can be said that if there is one advantage to the vision sought by this study to present in this book is that it offers a way to think about how to explain the crisis of the relationship between Nasiriyah and the Baath Party, out of the framework of direct factors to the broader framework, A crisis that is developing the national trend itself.
This study also enables priority to be given to a more secure standard in evaluating the responsibility of each party for failures and differences in its context within the framework of the Arab nationalist revolution as a system of ideas and a strategy of change that reflects the requirements of the renaissance of the Arab nation. Itself belong to it.
Dear Dr Abbas, shukran! Though the passage is rather a critical abstract on some particular study, than an answer to my question... :)
