Deadline: 10-Oct-22
The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung is inviting applications for the Research Paper on Rapprochement between Syrian Regime and Jordan.
The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is a political foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany. The KAS has more than 100 offices worldwide that establish political, economic and social structures based on the principles of liberal democracy and social market economy.
The work focuses on the following areas of activity: research and implementation of educational measures (especially conferences, seminars, dialogue programs) regarding the stability of the Middle East, good governance, the refugee situation, the security policy implications of the war in Syria as well as the situation after the military defeat of the so-called Islamic State (IS).
While a number of studies has been written about the interests and reasons for Jordan to reengage with the Syrian regime, they want to shine light on Syrian interests and what a reestablishment of Syrian-Jordanian relations could mean for Syria and Syrian refugees worldwide. Furthermore, they would like to explore the repercussions a normalization with the Syrian regime would bring for the region as well as how it could impact European and German policies.
Objectives
-
Explore the relationship between Syria and Jordan, shedding light on relevant issues. Including but not limited to:
- The impact on Syrians within regime controlled and opposition held areas.
- The impact on Syrian refugees in Jordan and the region.
- How could a Jordanian-Syrian rapprochement affect the relationship between other regional countries and the regime, especially Lebanon?
- The effect a normalization of relations would have for the Syrian regime.
- The effect it would have on European and German policies in regard to Syria.
Submission Criteria
-
Interested candidates should send:
- A 2-page research abstract with a clearly formulated research structure and budget.
