OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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
