Syria's heads of state over the past century: An interactive research tool

Middle East Institute (Research Tool), Dr Karam Shaar and Samy Akil, 04 Nov 2020

​This study presents an interactive timeline to aid those interested in the background of Syria’s heads of state and how power has changed hands since 1922. Dr Karam Shaar and Sami Akil also use the timeline to draw insights into the ongoing 2011 conflict. They open by highlighting the longstanding asymmetries in the distribution of power, and later zoom in on the past half century of al-Assad family rule. They conclude with a look into the future. The study is published in the Middle East Institute as well.
