  • Geo-Visualization Tools for Participatory Urban Planning the Case of Tripoli, Lebanon
    KARTOGRAPHISCHE BAUSTEINE BAND 35 DRESDEN 2007 Remarks on the cover The cover illustration combines two different types of imagery. The first one forms the background: it is a geocoded mosaic of three QuickBird scenes of Tripoli acquired on 26 January 2003, 8 April 2003 and 2 July 2003. This is overlaid by four photographs depicting typical scenes of the city centre of Tripoli. From East to West they display the following sites: waste on the both sides of the main river (Abu Ali River); street-vendors at the entrance to the old souk; daily traffic jam in the old city; disused houses in the old city waiting for a renovation since the end of the Civil War in 1990. i Note: More than one month after the beginning of the disastrous summer 2006 war in Lebanon I submit my thesis with the hope that it will be the last conflict in my country, the country which is known for its multicultural and multireligious structure. I hope that by the conclusion of my work Lebanon will have peace and peace for ever. Ich habe die vorliegende Dissertation etwas mehr als einen Monat nach dem katastrophalen Krieg im Sommer 2006 im Lebanon eingereicht. Ich hoffe, daß bis zur Fertigstellung des Drucks dieser Konflikt gelöst ist und endlich dauerhafter Frieden im Libanon einkehrt, dem Land, das für seine Multikulturalität und Multireligiosität bekannt ist.

  • The Hariri Assassination and the Making of a Usable Past for Lebanon
    LOCKED IN TIME ?: THE HARIRI ASSASSINATION AND THE MAKING OF A USABLE PAST FOR LEBANON Jonathan Herny van Melle A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2009 Committee: Dr. Sridevi Menon, Advisor Dr. Neil A. Englehart ii ABSTRACT Dr. Sridevi Menon, Advisor Why is it that on one hand Lebanon is represented as the “Switzerland of the Middle East,” a progressive and prosperous country, and its capital Beirut as the “Paris of the Middle East,” while on the other hand, Lebanon and Beirut are represented as sites of violence, danger, and state failure? Furthermore, why is it that the latter representation is currently the pervasive image of Lebanon? This thesis examines these competing images of Lebanon by focusing on Lebanon’s past and the ways in which various “pasts” have been used to explain the realities confronting Lebanon. To understand the contexts that frame the two different representations of Lebanon I analyze several key periods and events in Lebanon’s history that have contributed to these representations. I examine the ways in which the representation of Lebanon and Beirut as sites of violence have been shaped by the long period of civil war (1975-1990) whereas an alternate image of a cosmopolitan Lebanon emerges during the period of reconstruction and economic revival as well as relative peace between 1990 and 2005. In juxtaposing the civil war and the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in Beirut on February 14, 2005, I point to the resilience of Lebanon’s civil war past in shaping both Lebanese and Western memories and understandings of the Lebanese state.

  • Lebanon During the Shāril Éulw Presidency, 1964 – 1970*
    LEBANON DURING THE SHĀRIL ÉULW PRESIDENCY, 1964 – 1970* Karol R. SORBY Institute of Oriental Studies, Slovak Academy of Sciences Klemensova 19, 813 64 Bratislava, Slovakia [email protected] The relative calm of the regime of Fu’ād Shihāb (Fouad Chehab) began to wither away during the presidential term of his successor Shāril Éulw (Charles Éelou). In many respects the new regime was supposed to be a continuation of the former one. Political, social and economic reforms were to be carried out as specified under the regime of Fu’ād Shihāb. More important, the role of the army and its Deuxième Bureau in decision-making remained intact and a hard-liner Shihābist, Ilyās Sarkīs, wielded great power as the head of the presidential bureau. The new regime provided a convincing argument that not even Shihābist policies were capable of ameliorating Lebanon’s inherent problems. These problems were structural and could not be solved by reforms. Furthermore, these reforms interfered with the confessional arrangements in the political system and were not easy to implement at a time of relative calm in the region. When major disturbances such as the June 1967 war, began to occur in the area, even these innocuous reforms became unacceptable to the traditional and sectarian forces in the country. Key words: the Arab Cold War, the period of Arab summits, the Shihābist nahj, the PLO’s activities in Lebanon, the Cairo Agreement By 1963, when rumours had begun to circulate that President Fu’ād Shihāb (Fouad Chehab) intended to have the constitution amended by parliament to allow him a second term of office, a powerful coalition of his opponents was beginning to take form.

    The Question Juan Rial of the Military in Lebanon Roman ruins in the city of Tyre in a state of abandonment. Lebanese Armed Forces checkpoint in the south of the country. Makeshift camp for Syrian refugees in the Marjayoun region. The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) are at the center of the security situation in Lebanon today. The support of central countries through an International Conference for assistance programs, the donation of four billion dollars from Saudi Arabia for the purchase of military equip- ment, and the operations carried out in the face of the advances of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - ISIS - in the border zone with Syria, are some of the pieces that constitute the scene. SERIES PEACE& SECURITY Presented here is the vision of a Latin American analyst with experience in the processes of the reconfi guration of military forces following the dictatorships, and the change in the regional and international scene produced by the disappearance of the internal and external Soviet empire.

  • Vol. 3 No. 1, January 2001 Michel Aoun
    Jointly published by the United States Committee for a Free Lebanon and the Middle East Forum Vol. 3 No. 1, January 2001 Michel Aoun Former Lebanese Prime Minister by Gary C. Gambill Former Lebanese Prime Minister Michel Aoun continues to be many things to many people. To Lebanese political elites, he is a populist rabble rouser whose mass appeal continues to undermine the foundations of political clientalism in Lebanon. The late Syrian President Hafez Assad bore a particularly acute and personal hatred of Aoun, whose success in bridging sectarian divisions in Lebanon has stifled Syrian attempts to "divide and conquer" Lebanon's pluralist society. For most ordinary Lebanese, however, Aoun remains the most salient symbol of secular Lebanese nationalism, a revolutionary commanding almost messianic adoration in the streets of Beirut. Many have questioned Aoun's judgement in launching his 1989 "war of liberation" against Syrian military forces, but few have questioned his integrity. Even his critics acknowledge that Aoun's refusal to compromise his principles in the face of overwhelming adversity struck a very powerful chord in the hearts of millions of Lebanese. "He was a David to an infinite Goliath," recalls former Foreign Minister Elie A. Salem, "and this image was well received by all the non-sophisticated in Lebanon, irrespective of religion and locale."1 Background Aoun, a Maronite Christian, was born in 1935 to a poor family in Haret Hraik, a mixed Muslim- Christian suburb south of Beirut. He is remembered by many as an intelligent, hardworking child who transcended the difficult conditions of his youth. At age six, British and Australian allied forces evicted his family and occupied their house.
