Democracy Building & Consensus in Lebanon

Listen Thursday, Jul. 9, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Conflict, Politics

In recent elections, Lebanese voters sent a pro-Western majority to parliament, denying a challenge from the militant Hezbollah. We look at the challenges ahead for the newly-named Prime Minister Saad Hariri -- son of slain former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri -- and look at the foreign powers like Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. are likely to play.
