Al-Ta'addudiyya (also known as Ta'adudia) was a concept of Assadism and policy of limited political and economic pluralism in Ba'athist Syria adopted by President Hafez al-Assad during his rule. It was part of so-called Corrective Movement program and one of many policies introduced by Hafez al-Assad after coming to power with the aim of economic, political and social reconstruction of Syria. The policy of ta'addudiyya should not be confused with the policy of purely economic pluralism, known as al-ta`addudiyya al-iqtisadiyya, which was introduced in 1991. However, the term "Ta'addudiyya" was also applied to this policy. While the two policies have similarities, they are also different: Ta'addudiyya was launched earlier and focused more on political pluralism than on economic pluralism (the policy that liberalized the economy in the 1970s was known as infiraj). The term was also frequently used by government officials and in Syrian state propaganda.
