“A Third Way for Syria?” with Professor Ziad Majed

Why did the Syrian peaceful revolution turn into an armed struggle, and who are the local, regional and international actors involved in the conflict? How can we explain the International Community's hesitations and slow reaction to what was qualified by different UN agencies and Human Rights organizations as "the worst humanitarian crisis since WWII"? And is it true that the choice for Syria is today between Assad and ISIS?

The talk will attempt to address these questions and to discuss some of the representations of the “Syrian conflict” in which ordinary citizens are rendered invisible.

The talk will be given by Professor Ziad Majed.
