We're joined by Nadim Shehadi for Episode 45 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss the country's power-sharing structure and its durability throughout modern Lebanese history. He offers his view from New York and the diaspora's ongoing role in Lebanon's post-war economy and politics.

Nadim Shehadi is the Executive Director of Lebanese American University's New York campus and previously served as Director of the Fares Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies at Tuft's Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy.
