What Can Europe do in Syria?
from Brussels Sprouts · host Center for a New American Security | CNAS
After 54 years of brutal rule in Syria, the al-Assad family’s reign came to an end last week. Following 13 years of devastating civil war, which saw over a million refugees flee to Europe, and millions more internally displaced within Syria, the rebel victory brought both a sense of relief and celebration while also bringing a sense of trepidation and anxiety about what might come next. To analyze the events in Syria and discuss Europe's role in the formation of a new state, Asli Aydintasbas and Nathalie Tocci join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend on this week's episode of Brussels Sprouts. Asli Aydintasbas is Visiting Fellow at the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. Nathalie Tocci is the Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali.
