Thema
The Syrian war with all its brutality against the civilian population is to a considerable degree shaped the struggle for regime-survival of the ruling elites in Damascus. However, in the course of the conflict, the power structure within the Assad regime has changed. This transformation continues until today and its outcome is still open: What are the goals and strategies of Assad and his entourage? What changes is the regime currently undergoing and how will this process affect the future development of the Syrian conflict? Start: 5:30 p.m. / 17:30
First episode of the five-part online event series „Syria – The war on Europe’s doorstep“.
