Syria and the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership

Time:
18:30 hrs
Place:
CIDOB Foundation. Campana Hall. C/ Elisabets, 24. 08001 Barcelona
Organised by:
Mediterranean Programme of the CIDOB Foundation

Syria is a country which, to part of Western public opinion, remains aloof from the political, social and economic changes that have shaken other areas of the planet. This seemed to change when, with the arrival of Bachar el-Assad to power, the term “Damascus Spring” was coined to refer to the country’s timid opening up. Different signs indicate that this period has been buried. This workshop poses a debate on the political and social evolution of contemporary Syria, with special attention placed on the emergence of a civil society, the impact of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership on these processes and the consequences of these changes in the regional situation.

Contributions from: Salam Kawakibi, Syrian political scientist residing in Paris; Helena Oliván, Head of Mediterranean Policies in the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and Eduard Soler, Co-ordinator of the Mediterranean Programme of the CIDOB Foundation.
