  5. Transnational Repression Series II: The Long Arm of Authoritarianism

Transnational repression is a phenomenon that refers to the efforts of governments to reach across their borders to silence dissent living in the diaspora. 
In the second series of this webinar, Orion Policy Institute brought together the experts working on this important issue. The experts presented their work and discussed the current trends and methods of transnational repression including digital repression, country-specific case studies, and policy recommendations for the host countries.

Erdogan’s Reconciliation with Reality: Back to Rapprochement with Assad

Over a decade ago, Turkey-Syria relations have undergone a dramatic shift when then Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) decided to end their policy of ‘zero problems with the neighbors’ and interfered in the uprising in Syria. The AKP’s overly ambitious Neo-Ottomanism and revolutionary aspirations, coupled with military activism and Iranian-style proxy warfare campaigns in its neighboring country proved to be a disastrous mixture. Today, Erdogan has no other choice but to return to his Syria policy before the Arab Spring: seeking rapprochement with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Russia has responded, ramping up cyber threats and disinformation operations in the "near abroad" and strengthening its partnerships with revisionist actors like China.
