Today’s world is in unprecedented flux. Rights and citizenship are under assault. Authoritarianism is on the rise. No single country can dictate the rules. The Middle East lies at the cutting edge of the crises of our age, with every world power, including the United States, deeply involved. Host Thanassis Cambanis interviews activists, researchers, and decision-makers about the problems of our time, and possible solutions. This podcast is produced by Century International. Our research focuses on the human impact of global policy. We are independent, critical, and progressive. Find our work at https://tcf.org/topics/century-international/.

More than five million Syrians, over one-fifth of the country’s prewar population, have left their homeland since the uprisings began in 2011. As President Bashar al-Assad claims victory and reconstruction talks ensue, many of these exiles, refugees, and émigrés see no possibilities for return.
On November 30, The Century Foundation published a report on national identity and belonging among Syrian exiles by TCF Foreign Policy associates Lily Hindy and Sima Ghaddar, based on their series of extended narrative interviews with displaced Syrians in Lebanon, Europe, and the United States.
Participants include:
- Thanassis Cambanis, Senior Fellow, The Century Foundation
- Lily Hindy, Policy Associate, The Century Foundation
- Sima Ghaddar, Contributor, The Century Foundation
