For fifty years, Maison du Futur has stood as a platform for dialogue, political reflection, and cultural exchange, promoting Lebanon's unique vocation as a homeland of coexistence, diversity, and openness. Founded by Former President Amine Gemayel amid the turmoil of the Lebanese Civil War, the institution emerged from the conviction that Lebanon's future could only be built through dialogue, mutual understanding, democratic values, and respect for human dignity.
This anniversary volume brings together a distinguished group of scholars and thinkers who examine some of the most pressing political, economic, and strategic questions facing Lebanon and the wider Middle East. The book explores themes including sovereignty, citizenship, political Islam, national security, political economy, regional geopolitics, energy transitions, and the future of Lebanon within a rapidly changing regional order.
As both a tribute to Maison du Futur's legacy and a reflection on the challenges ahead, this volume offers valuable insights into the ideas that have guided one of Lebanon's leading platforms for intellectual and civic engagement over the past five decades.
