What comes next for Syria

The fall of the Syrian government was rapid and abrupt, a surprise to many observers and policymakers that came largely because of internal corruption and a lack of support from other countries, panelists said at a Perry World House discussion.

Titled “Syria: What Happened and What Comes Next,” the virtual event featured Richard Fontaine, CEO of the Center for a New American Security and a Perry World House visiting fellow; Marie Harf, executive director of Perry World House; and Brendan O’Leary, Lauder Professor of Political Science. It was moderated by Michael C. Horowitz, director of Perry World House.
