Is Lebanon’s national identity crisis rooted in political dysfunction, or in a deeper struggle over its history, language, and civilisational heritage?

In Season 7 of Global Greek Influence, dedicated to geopolitics, Dr. Amine-Jules Iskandar, Director of the Institute of Lebanese Thought at Notre Dame University–Louaizé, Professor of Architecture at the Lebanese University, and President of the Syriac Maronite Union – Tur Levnon (⁠https://tur-levnon.org/⁠⁠), examines Lebanon’s identity crisis, Syriac-Maronite heritage, and struggle for sovereignty amid shifting regional power dynamics.

From Hezbollah and Syria to Turkey’s regional ambitions, the conversation explores Lebanon’s geopolitical future and the potential for closer strategic cooperation with Greece, Cyprus, and Israel.

Could Lebanon’s historical identity hold the key to its future in the Eastern Mediterranean?
