The Crisis in Syria: Where is the Conflict Heading? A Panel Debate

Almost 30.000 killed; a humanitarian catastophe; a regime that is gradually mutating into a horrifici militia; a paralyzed international community; an opposition who, despite launching a struggle against repression and tyranny, is threatened by its own radicalization; an arena for the battle of regional hegemony. What are the domestic, regional, and global dynamics and scenarios for the conflict in Syria today?

Ingmar Karlsson is a former Swedish Ambassador to Syria. Karlsson has published a number of books on issues relating to the Middle East and is currently a Senior Fellow at the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies in Lund.

Per Jönsson is a former foreign correspondent at Dagens Nyheter and is currently an associate at the the Swedish Institute of International Affairs where he specializes on international relations of the Middle East.
