Salam Kawakibi
Salam Kawakibi (Ar سلام الكواكبي, born 1960 in Aleppo) is a political scientist and economist and a member of the secular Syrian opposition. He is the director of the Arab Centre for Research and Policy Studies in Paris.[1]
Life and career[edit]
Kawakibi studied Political science at the l’Institut d’Etudes Politiques of Aix-En-Provence from which he holds a DEA degree. Kawakibi also graduated in International Relations and Economics from Aleppo University.[2]
Between 2000 and 2006, he was director of the Institut Français du Proche Orient (IFPO) in Aleppo, Syria.[3] From 2009 to 2011, Kawakibi was a researcher at the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Amsterdam.
Kawakibi is a Senior Fellow with the Centre for Syrian Studies at the University of St Andrews and nonresident fellow with the "Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East" at the American think tank Atlantic Council.
He teaches in the Masters programme on Development and Migration at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.[4]
With the beginning of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Kawakibi became a prominent voice of the secular opposition to the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.[5][6] [7] [8] He is the founder and co-chairman of "The Day After", a civil society initiative to support democratic transition in Syria.[9]
According to the "Historical Dictionary of Syria" Kawakibi stands for an intellectual and secular approach to the Syrian crisis "which tried to steer away from the inflamed politics of the opposition".[10]
Kawakibi holds both Syrian and French citizenship.[11] He is the great-grandson of the Syrian intellectual and Pan-Arab thinker Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi (1855-1902).[12]
