Syria's civil society is navigating a post-Assad era, with questions surrounding whether it will maintain its independence through partnership or be absorbed under government control. Bahjat Hajjar, co-founder of the Local Administration Councils Unit, has spent years working outside the Syrian state, and his organization seeks to establish local governance in opposition-held areas.

This shift is likely to have significant implications for the role of non-state actors in governance and decision-making.
