Report this post to the editors

This talk by Dr. Vincent Durac aims to increase public awareness about the current
political and humanitarian crisis in Syria. Beginning in 2011 after the al-Assad
regime began a violent crackdown on protestors demanding greater economic and
political freedoms, the situation has become increasingly unstable and of
humanitarian concern. In 2013, Syria is on the brink of Western military
intervention further complicating the West's relationship with the Middle East.
The goal of this lecture is to increase public knowledge of this conflict and
therefore will be delivered in an accessible manner outlining the main points of the
current crisis. It aims to address the following questions: What is happening? Why
is it happening? Who is involved? What are the consequences of intervention?

Dr Vincent Durac lectures in Middle East Politics the UCD School of Politics and
International Relations. His research is focused on a number of aspects of the
politics of the region, including political reform, the role of civil society, and
the impact of external actors. He is a visiting lecturer in Middle East Politics in
Bethlehem University in Palestine and at the European Inter-University Centre for
Human Rights in Venice.
