The Stanley Foundation
CLIME Fellow Tony Badran spoke at the Stanley Foundation workshop, focusing on security in Lebanon. The workshop revealed that the most effective US policies will emphasize multilateralism. More specifically, the US should adopt policies that promote burden-sharing, development assistance, and roles for US civil society organizations and the private sector. This "softer" approach offers the US an opportunity to effect change in ways that align with trends within Lebanese society and with existing international stabilization and reconstruction efforts. At the same time, it emphasizes positive attributes of US culture and downplays its perceived militaristic tendencies.
