Corrective Movement (Syria)

Corrective Movement (Arabic: الحركة التصحيحية, romanized: al-Ḥarakah at-Taṣḥīḥīyya) was the political, social and economic program, launched by Hafez al-Assad, soon after his seizure of power in the 1970 Ba'athist coup d'etat in Syria. Assad later compared the Corrective Movement program to Mikhail Gorbachev's future perestroika program.
