** The Rise and Fall of the Hariri Dynasty
------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, Feb. 12:  What can the "Hariri phenomenon" tell us about Lebanese politics?

The rise of the businessman-politician is indicative of wider shifts in Lebanon’s political economy and international politics.
