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.

This issue is explored from all anglesópolitical, social, economic and religiousóin Rebuilding Lebanon. Co-published with the Center for International Affairs, Harvard University.
