Assadism is the Syrian strain of Ba'athism and the ideology of the Syrian presidents Hafez al-Assad and Bashar al-Assad.
Hafez al-Assad
Hafez al-Assad (1930-2000) was a Syrian statesman and military officer who served as President of Syria from 1971 until his death in 2000. Hafez participated in the 1963 Syrian coup d'état 
which brought the Syrian regional branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party to power. After serving as defense minister for a few years he initiated another coup that ousted the de facto leader 
Salah Jadid and appointed himself as leader of Syria. Hafez imposed change on the Ba'ath government when he took power, by imposing 
capitalism and limited liberalization of the economy, thus moving the Syrian Ba'ath Party away from it's 
socialist roots.
As President, Hafez organized state services along sectarian lines the Sunnis became the heads of political institutions, while the Alawites took control of the military, intelligence, and security apparatuses. Even though Hafez sided with the 
Soviet Union in the Cold War against 
Israel, he prosecuted and repressed leftists such as supporters of Salah Jadid, at home. Hafez's policies indirectly led to the establishment of a "new elite" as state officials used their positions for personal gain resulting in spikes of corruption.
From the 1970s to the early 1980s the 
Alawite Dynasty found its power and grip over Syria challenged by a series of revolts and armed insurgencies of Sunni Islamists, mainly members of the 
Muslim Brotherhood which aimed to overthrow the secular Ba'athist dictatorship. The Islamist uprising reached its climax in the 1982 Hama uprising and massacre, which resulted in tens of thousands casualties and was used by Hafez to eliminate dissent turning Syria into a totalitarian dictatorship
Bashar al-Assad
Following the death of 
Hafez al-Assad in 2000 and the succession of his son, Bashar to the presidency, political repression diminished significantly in what was known as Damascus Spring. Bashar attempted to improve relations with the west through market liberal reforms such as the privatization of education, healthcare, the banking sector, and the media. However, corruption only increased, and the Syrian opposition began to organize foreign powers came to decide that Assad had to go.
