As Syria\u2019s conflict settles decisively into a new phase, much of the fight has moved to diplomatic salons. Reconstruction and normalization are the biggest questions of the day. If Syria is to be rebuilt, who will pay? If Bashar al-Assad wins the civil war outright, will the foreign governments that opposed him now change tack and reestablish full diplomatic relations?\n\xa0\nThese questions frame the Syrian government\u2019s diplomatic agenda, as it tries to leverage battlefield gains to reap lasting political dividends. Western governments are perplexed, as they ponder whether and how to continue their opposition to Assad.\n\xa0\nParticipants include:\n\xa0\nThanassis Cambanis, Senior Fellow, The Century Foundation\nMichael Wahid Hanna, Senior Fellow, The Century Foundation\nAron Lund, Fellow, The Century Foundation\nSam Heller, Fellow, The Century Foundation
