Lebanon’s Current Crisis and Prospects for Renewal

On November 10, PRIO hosted a seminar discussing the contours of the present crisis in Lebanon, prospects for renewal, and how PRIO's dialogue forum fits into this landscape. Over the last year, PRIO's Middle East Centre has initiated a dialogue forum in Lebanon that has brought together a diverse range of actors from across the national spectrum. These participants, reflecting these new political formations, have engaged in panel discussions around key topics essential to creating a renewed vision for Lebanon. The seminar will ask the following questions: What are the contours of this crisis and what does this post-election landscape look like for Lebanese civil society? How significant has this period been for a better future for Lebanon? And finally, how can dialogue forums impact processes of renewal?SpeakersMaja Janmyr, Professor in International Migration Law, University of OsloGregory M.
