From April 15-17, Middle East Programs, along with former Resident Senior Fellow Aaron Stein (now Director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute), hosted a conference on the future of Northeast Syria in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. Participants addressed the future stability of Syria’s northeast through the lens of governance, political reconciliation, and external actors. Assistant Director Emily Burchfield and Aaron Stein are drafting a Report on the workshop to be published by the Council in partnership with the Foreign Policy Research Institute and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, which funded the project.
