Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Join us for an in-depth discussion with Dr. Karam Shaar, a leading political economist and Chief Economic Consultant on Syria to the United Nations, as we examine the country’s political economy beyond the Assad era. Dr. Shaar has produced extensive research on Syria and advised international organizations and research institutions on reconstruction, fiscal reform, and governance.
The conversation will explore Syria’s emerging economic philosophy — spanning fiscal, monetary, investment, and privatisation policies — and consider how political forces, capital, and society interact in re-defining the state’s role. It will also explore the influence of the international community and regional dynamics in shaping the new political and economic order.
Moderated by: Jad Baghdadi, Rhodes Scholar and PhD Candidate at ODID researching state–capital relations
Chair: Adeel Malik, Globe Fellow in Economies of Muslim Societies and Associate Professor, ODID
