    P a g e | 1 P a g e | 2 P a g e | 3 THE POLITICAL ECONOMY And ITS SOCIAL RAMIFICATIONS IN THREE SYRIAN CITIES: TARTOUS, Qamishli and Azaz Economic developments and humanitarian aid throughout the years of the conflict, and their effect on the value chains of different products and their interrelation with economic, political and administrative factors. January 2021 P a g e | 4 KEY MESSAGES • The three studied cities are located in different areas of control: Tartous is under the existing Syrian authority, Azaz is within the “Euphrates Shield” areas controlled by Turkey and the armed “opposition” factions loyal to it, and most of Qamishli is under the authority of the “Syrian Democratic Forces” and the “Self-Administration” emanating from it. Each of these regions has its own characteristics in terms of the "political war economy". • After ten years of conflict, the political economy in Syria today differs significantly from its pre-conflict conditions due to specific mechanisms that resulted from the war, the actual division of the country, and unilateral measures (sanctions). • An economic and financial crisis had hit all regions of Syria in 2020, in line with the Lebanese crisis. This led to a significant collapse in the exchange rate of the Syrian pound and a significant increase in inflation. This crisis destabilized the networks of production and marketing of goods and services, within each area of control and between these areas, and then the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated this deterioration. • This crisis affected the living conditions of the population. The monthly minimum survival expenditure basket (SMEB) defined by aid agencies for an individual amounted to 45 working days of salaries for an unskilled worker in Azaz, 37 days in Tartous and 22 days in Qamishli.

    Master’s degree In Architecture for the Sustainability Design Master Thesis Post War: Architecture of Peace and Reconciliation Tutors Prof. Daniela Ciaffi Prof. Mario Artuso Candidate Karim Chaitani February 2019 Preface This volume discusses solutions and procedures that can be taken in the process of rebuilding, after a war period. War does not only destroy buildings and cities, but also economies, and most importantly societies. It creates different divisions between citizens. People can be divided according to ethnicity, religion, or ideology. Thus, recovery should not only be restricted to consider reconstructing buildings and infrastructure, but also economy and society. The objective here is to recreate and encourage coexistence after the impact of war which resulted a rupture in the society. Society is one of the most important factors in building cities and countries. To understand the major issues and problems, we must look at examples of cities that had experienced war and post reconstruction war phases. Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, had experienced a severe civil war which was followed by a reconstruction process. From this experience, architectural and urban design and solutions, that were implemented, will be analyzed to carry out what were the successes and the gaps, the considered problems and the neglected ones, the effective solutions and the weak gaps. The analysis carried out will be considered in the implementation of design and solutions for the city of Aleppo in Syria. Experts in the field were interviewed on these problematics and the solutions, including Dr.Nahas Dr.Hallaj, Dr.Badr and Dr.Fawaz. Prefazione [Italiano] Il seguente volume si prepone come obiettivo lo studio dei problemi legati alla ricostruzione post-bellica di Aleppo, in Siria.

Data from agencies of the United Nations system on their humanitarian deliveries have been reported for August 2018. II. Major developments Box 1 Key points: August 2018 1. Concern around the prospect of military operations in the Idlib de-escalation area grew significantly during the reporting period, with airstrikes and explosions in Idlib and Aleppo Governorates between 10 and 12 August resulting in civilian deaths and injuries. Reports were received of attacks affecting several health facilities, and school activities in a number of areas were suspended. 2. Humanitarian organizations continued to respond to needs in Idlib and across the north-west of the country, drawing on cross-border assistance channels, while coordinating readiness efforts, including the pre-positioning of aid supplies, in view of the growing threat of large-scale displacement linked to expanded military operations in the area.
