Postgraduate thesis defended in 1980, this monographic study concerns the realization in the oasis of Damascus of the great agrarian reform which took place in Syria from the end of the 1950s.Anne-Marie Bianquis begins by presenting data general information on this agricultural region (physical elements, landscape, hydraulic arrangements, settlement, agrarian structures) to then retrace its history and that of Syria since the end of the Ottoman Empire. His work then focuses on the land reform legislation in its various stages as well as its successive phases and applications in the oasis. Based on documentation from both the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform and numerous field surveys, the author takes stock of the processes of expropriation, land redistribution, creation of cooperatives and constitution. of a public agricultural sector. The last pages take stock of these reforms. They also recall the economic upheavals that hit the region at the end of the 1970s - in particular the two oil shocks - and their role in the reconfiguration of the oasis, which then tends more and more to urbanize.
