Der Sammelband enthält die insgesamt 21 Beiträge von syrischen und deutschen Wissenschaftlern, die sich zu Aspekten des syrisch-deutschen Handels äußern. Alle Vorträge wurden im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Workshops der Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal und der Arab-European-University (AEU) im September 2009 vorgestellt, teilweise heftig diskutiert und später weiter überarbeitet.
Dadurch verzögerte sich die Fertigstellung dieses Sammelbandes, spiegelt aber dadurch den aktuellen Stand wider.
