Location
Chatham House, London

Chair: Ian Black, Middle East editor, The Guardian
Type: Members event
The speaker will focus on the situation in Lebanon after the war in July 2006, and particularly the political stalemate that deepened in the autumn of last year and has continued. One key to understanding the crisis is to assess the structural coherence of the opposing political forces, and to weigh the goals of the key actors. The role of external players will also be examined and the conditions necessary for a realignment of the players will be considered.
