The third webinar of our "Shifting Paradigms" series explores Syria and the modern Middle East's political landscape.
What do the experts see in Syria, where regional actors are reassessing their strategies and alliances as the balance of power shifts?
A panel of experts will explore the evolving dynamics and their broader impact on regional geopolitics, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and the rise of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Themes to be discussed include the trajectory of HTS in governing Syria, the prospects for Syria’s unity or fragmentation, and the regional implications for trade, energy, and political alliances.
