Overview
Former Lebanese President Amine Gemayel discusses methods for the reconstruction of Lebanon. He argues that it must take place step by step: first, the economy cannot be put back on its feet without a total overhaul of the political system. But a reform of the political system alone would not suffice; the economic policy needs reorienting and lessons must be learned from past mistakes. This issue is explored from all angles-political, social, economic and religious-in "Rebuilding Lebanon". Co-published with the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University.Synopsis
