Ziad MAJED

Coordinator of the Facilitation Committee of the Charter of Human Responsibilities.
for Lebanon and the Middle East. Member of the International Committee of the Charter.

My name is Ziad Majed. I am from South Lebanon and I live in Beirut.
I completed a B.A. in economics and an M.A. in Arab literature at the American University of Beirut, a DEUG (two-year university diploma) in sociology at the Lebanese University, and a DEA (Master 2) completed with a PhD in political sciences at Sciences Po, Paris.

After working in a political-research center in Beirut on electoral systems and political parties, I co-authored the first human development report of the UNDP on post-war Lebanon, and then moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1999, where I worked for 2 years at a research institute as person in charge of the issues related to the democratization on the Arab World.

In the last 6 years, I have worked in journalism and research in Lebanon, and I have coordinated projects analyzing the electoral systems, the living conditions of women and civil-society dynamics in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, and Lebanon. I have also contributed to analyses and meetings on issues related to political Islam.

I have written a book on the Beirut Spring of 2005, and a booklet on the left wing in Lebanon.

Since 2001, I have been involved in activities with the Alliance for a Responsible and United World and in the Future of the Planet program, through the Cultural Council of South Lebanon and other Lebanese organizations.

Finally, I am active in international Palestine solidarity networks and I am a founding member of the Democratic Left Movement in Lebanon.
