The presentation, from an event at the Middle East Initiative on April 29, 2014, analyzes the weaknesses of the Lebanese system, its strengths, and its sources of resilience. The presentation also investigates a number of scenarios that would shape a future Lebanon, given internal and external politico-economic forces at play.
