We discuss her recent Middle East Eye piece, 'Lebanon's unfinished revolution: Where next?' and reflect on the underpinnings of what Rima refers to as sectarian neoliberalism.
Our conversation includes domestic and regional considerations, comparing recent attempts at reform, defining what 'revolutionary' means and a need for political opposition to organize.
Rima Majed is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the American University of Beirut.
