The Political Economy of Syria Post-Assad
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
