Working Paper Series # 24 | October 2014 Operation Protective Edge & Legal RemediesNoura Erakat, Bianca Isaias, and Salmah Rizvi On 26 August 2014, Israel and Palestinian resistance groups entered into a long-term ceasefire agreement.

To date, the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) which only host 30% of the student population in Lebanon shouldered the burden of education service delivery with support from...

The researchers then quantify the broader economic impacts in the country considering not only the temporal dimension but also the regional disaggregation of the results. The results show that there are potential high costs and risks associated with a...
