The Struggle for Reform in Iraq and Lebanon

Research Event

3 December 2019 - 9:30am to 10:45am

Chatham House | 10 St James's Square | London | SW1Y 4LE

Event participants

Renad Mansour, Research Fellow, Middle East and North Africa Programme, Chatham House
Alia Moubayed, Managing Director, Jefferies
Chair: Lina Khatib, Head, Middle East and North Africa Programme, Chatham House

Over recent weeks, widespread popular protests have engulfed Iraq and Lebanon. What began as calls for reform in the context of high unemployment and endemic corruption have evolved into direct challenges to the existing political order in both countries.

In response, ruling elites have moved to protect the systems from which they draw power. In Iraq, the state has responded to protests with violence, killing more than 300 people and injuring over 15,000. In Lebanon, protesters are facing attempts at co-optation and intransigence by their leaders. These developments have served to underline the widening gap between elites and ordinary citizens and to highlight geopolitical tensions in the region that have contributed to both countries' woes.

This event will delve into what is at stake for those mobilizing in Iraq and Lebanon. Speakers will discuss the obstacles to meaningful reform and possible routes out of the current crises.

The Elements of Power: Gadgets, Guns and the Struggle for a Sustainable Future in the Rare Metal Age

Invitation Only Research Event

19 May 2016 - 5:00pm to 6:30pm

Chatham House, London, UK

At this session, the speaker will argue that our future hinges on a set of elements that receive scant attention even from those whose fortunes rely upon them. The speaker will outline why our electronic gadgets, the most powerful armies and indeed the fate of our planet depend on producing sustainable supplies of rare metals. He will outline some of the  new environmental, economic, and geopolitical consequences of supply chains and discuss the dynamics of the rare metal markets which are vastly different than traditional commodities traded on open exchanges. The speaker will also address some of the security of supply issues arising from China's role as the dominant consumer and producer of most of the world’s minor metals. Finally, the discussion will also include what countries and companies can do to ensure resilient supply lines.

Attendance at this event is by invitation only.
