Director’s cut: What Syrian refugees need to return home

This episode of the Director’s Cut features a conversation between Bruegel’s director, Guntram Wolff and Maha Yahya, the director of the Carnegie Middle East Center, where her research focuses on citizenship, pluralism, and social justice in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings.

Yahya is the author of numerous publications, including most recently “Unheard Voices: What Syrian Refugees Need to Return Home” (April 2018); “The Summer of Our Discontent: Sects and Citizens in Lebanon and Iraq” (June 2017); and “Refugees and the Making of an Arab Regional Disorder” (November 2015).

For further reading, we recommend our blueprint "People on the move: migration and mobility in the European Union", written by Uuriintuya Batsaikhan, Zsolt Darvas and Inês Goncalves Raposo.

Zolt Darvas also contributed to the debate on migration and refugees in Europe with two blogs on similar topics: Beyond border control, migrant integration policies must be revived and The challenge of fostering financial inclusion of refugees.
