Harvard University`s Center for Middle Eastern Studies Director`s Series presents
The History of Syrian Revolt: Structural Causes and Dynamics
A Lecture by Bassam Haddad
All the other Arab uprisings are complex, but the Syrian case is endowed with added complexity because it is at the heart of various historical struggles in the region and beyond. As such, the Syrian uprising becomes a local, regional, and an international affair. The speaker will address the history, causes, and dynamics of the Syrian uprising by examining state and society, the domestic and external opposition, the Islamicization of major parts of the opposition, the humanitarian/refugee crisis, and the international context.
Date: Tuesday, 4 March 2014, 4:00pm - 6:00pm
