A BEIRUT-BASED FORESIGHT HOUSE
A Beirut-based foresight house reading the Levant from inside it.
Most analysis of the Levant is written from outside it. Ours is not. We work the region from Beirut: analysts, sources, and networks shaped by daily proximity to what they analyse.
Distance flattens nuance. Proximity creates it.
