Revolution in Syria: Regional and Geopolitical Implications

The swift and stunning collapse of the Assad regime in Syria a few days ago carries enormous implications for the future of the Middle East. Will the revolution produce an Islamist regime? Or will it usher in a new, more tolerant government for the Syrian people? Will Syria's four million refugees who fled during the 13-year civil war be welcomed home? Will Turkey become the new regime's patron, and if so, to what end? What will Syria's relations be with other Arab countries, including Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia? Will the regime seek good relations with the United States and Europe? Or will it turn back toward Russia and Iran? And what does all this portend for Syria's relationship with Israel? Our panel of experts will address these and many more questions as they explore the implications of this month's dramatic developments in Syria.
