The blast came at a time when the country is grappling with multi-faceted socio-economic and governance crises, with come on top of refugee response, COVID response and more recently a Beirut blast response. The panel will reflect on the political economy of Lebanon at this key juncture in time by exploring broader regional and internal governance dynamics, the vacuum created by the Beirut blast, aid and recovery and the resilience of the Lebanese people as they responded to the crisis.
