Building a lasting peace? Power sharing and sectarian identities in Lebanon

Activity: Talk or presentation typesPublic lecture/debate/seminar

Description

This first seminar in the series seeks to examine the complex relationship between peace building, power sharing and sectarian identities in Lebanon. It hopes to interrogate the ways in which the conflict in Lebanon was ended through the implementation of power sharing agreements and the long term implications of those agreements for peace and prosperity. It will examine the interplay between those arrangements and the current areas of political tension and state dysfunction in the country. It will also look at the real challenges of improving public trust and reforming institutions in ways that enhance and protect peacebuilding in Lebanon
