DW News | Interview | 24.03.2023

Who is calling to lift sanctions on Syria - Syrians or the Assad regime?

After the devastating earthquake in early 2023 that affected Syria, calls to lift sanctions on the country flooded social media. Who is behind these calls? GIGA Researcher Houssein Al Malla contributes to this DW short documentary on the current state of sanctions in Syria.

TVP World | Interview | 20.02.2023

Are US Sanctions against Syria stalling Aid after earthquake?

A few days after the quake the US Treasury Department announced sanctions imposed on Syria for 'all transactions related to earthquake relief efforts'. Will this be enough to allow unrestricted humanitarian access to Syria? Have sanctions been an obstacle to the delivery of aid? GIGA researcher Houssein Al Malla answers these questions in this TVP World interview.

Introduction to Foreign Policy Analysis

Universität Hamburg Hamburg Deutschland

Why do states behave the way they do, and how can we account for their foreign policies in the international system? This course aims to introduce participants to the techniques, theories, and methods for analyzing and understanding the process of foreign policy decision making. The course will be divided into 3 major components: (a) an introduction to Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) as a sub-branch of International Relations; (b) an overview of the methods employed in the study of FPA; and (c) applications of these methods through real-world case studies of foreign policy decisions.
