Columbia Global Centers - Syria’s Transition and the Global Power Realignments
May 26, 2025
Recent developments in Syria are reshaping the political landscape of the wider Middle East, as regional actors reassess their strategies and alliances in light of the shifting balance of power. In the third webinar of our “Shifting Paradigms” series, a panel of experts will delve into the evolving dynamics and their broader impact on regional geopolitics, following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime and the rise of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Themes to be discussed include the trajectory of HTS in governing Syria, the prospects for Syria’s unity or fragmentation, and the regional implications for trade, energy, and political alliances.
