Syrian reconstruction a “generational project”

A reconstruction boom to take place in post-war Syria? The reconstruction of Syria is going to be a “generational project” as the destruction is severe and widespread in scale, Steven Heydemann, Middle East studies professor at Smith collegetells Carnegie Middle East Center. Heydemann talks about the politics of reconstruction and it how it is set to benefit specific political factions more than others. Watching this, we wanted to look beyond the politics of the inevitable reconstruction effort. We were wondering who would be there on the ground when the moment comes and whether any Egyptian companies would be eyeing this potential opportunity (runtime 06:26).
