Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, 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 to the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator in Syria, as we examine the country’s political economy beyond the Assad era.
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 redefining 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.
This event is moderated by: Jad Baghdadi, PhD Candidate at ODID researching state–capital relations
