Sa´adeh's doctrine emphasizes the importance
of both national identity and regional cooperation. He envisioned a unified
Arab world, where nations collaborate to address common challenges, promote
cultural exchange, and protect their collective interests from external influences.
His vision includes the establishment of an "Arab Front" institution,
incorporating four Arab nations, aimed at fostering friendly relations,
coordinating cultural affairs, promoting economic development, and ensuring
political cooperation.[1]
The members of the Arab Front are expected to respect each other's sovereignty
and independence, refrain from waging war against each other, and provide aid
in case of external aggression. Sa´adeh believed that a united and strong Syria
would lead the efforts to advance the Arab world and foster friendly relations
through cultural collaboration and mutual understanding. His primary focus,
however, remained on achieving national revival and internal cohesion within
Syria, as he believed that a strong and united Syria could better fulfill its
mission to lead the Arab world.
[1] In
contrast to Arab propagandists, Sa´adeh could not see the whole
Arab world encompassing an Arab nation based on language and religion. Rather,
he held, based on his theory of the nation, the Arab world consisted of four
nations: Syria, Arabia, the Nile
Valley and the Great Magrab.
