Syria Iran mtg at UCL


After the Bush era who are the forces for stability in the Middle East; Iran, Syria or the U.S? 

With the Bush administration coming to an end, this lecture looks into what the future may hold in the regional political, economic and social stability of the Middle East, and examines whether or not the balance of power will shift to regional states under the new Obama administration, or continue with the current Status Quo.

The lecture will look in particular at the roles Syria and the Islamic Republic of Iran can play in rebuilding stability in the region, and also looks into the potential ideas of how these changes can be executed.

Panelists:

Mr. Jihad Makdissi, Spokesman of the Syrian Embassy in London.

Mr. Shirvin Zeinalzadeh, Director of SZ Intelligence and Specialist in Intelligence and International Security.

Chair: Mr Pól Ó Géibheannaigh, Central Asia and Middle East Analyst.

After the main presentation, there will be an opportunity to present questions to the panel, and the floor will open for discussion.
