Abstract: Syria of Bashar El Assad is confronting to territorial changes on all the scales which lead to an increasingly acute fragmentation of the own territory. This process is the direct consequence of the policy of regional planning of the previous period, conceived like a political means of control and not of development. The disengagement of the State and a certain liberalization of the economy since ten years thus engaged a process of fragmentation of the own territory. The internal competitions within the alawi group since the death of Hafez El Assad in June 2000, weakened the central State. This vacancy of the pwer is felt by the peripheries which violently expressed their dissatisfaction, such Druses during the summer 2000 and the Kurds in March 2004.
