NGIZ Rotterdam | What’s next for Syria? | Petra Stienen | 25 november

Lecture by Petra Stienen, author, Arabist former diplomat in Egypt and Syria

What are the biggest challenges for Syria? Who are the players beyond Assad and ISIS? How should we understand the political and military interference of both the West and Russia? And who are the key actors in finding stability and peace in the region?

In her lecture, Petra Stienen – author, independent advisor and former diplomat of the Netherlands in Egypt and Syria – will focus on the Syrian crisis. Will Assad’s regime ever fall? What happens next? And why does this conflict have such disastrous effects on both the region as Europe?
