Institute For Middle East Studies

As the Syrian uprising approaches its third anniversary, the conflict is far from resolved and has entrenched tensions at the local, regional and international levels. The crisis has grown increasingly intractable in the face of the political stalemate, continued violence, and the mass exodus of refugees to neighboring countries.

Join POMEPS for a critical analysis and discussion of the insurgency in Syria.
