Atelier “Contestation, Crisis, Resilience: The State of the State in the Arab World”. A workshop organized in partnership with The European School of Political and Social Sciences (ESPOL) with the support of the Gerda Henkel Stiftung.
Présentation
The popular uprisings and rebellions of the ‘Arab Spring’ as well as the spectacular rise and fall of Daesh have affected many countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in different ways. This raises the question of the current ‘state of the state’ in the region. The invited speakers at the workshop explore domestic and international sources of the crisis and resilience of different MENA states, with a particular focus on Syria.
