  • Political Party Mapping in Lebanon Ahead of the 2018 Elections
    Political Party Mapping in Lebanon Ahead of the 2018 Elections Foreword This study on the political party mapping in Lebanon ahead of the 2018 elections includes a survey of most Lebanese political parties; especially those that currently have or previously had parliamentary or government representation, with the exception of Lebanese Communist Party, Islamic Unification Movement, Union of Working People’s Forces, since they either have candidates for elections or had previously had candidates for elections before the final list was out from the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities. The first part includes a systematic presentation of 27 political parties, organizations or movements, showing their official name, logo, establishment, leader, leading committee, regional and local alliances and relations, their stance on the electoral law and their most prominent candidates for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The second part provides the distribution of partisan and political powers over the 15 electoral districts set in the law governing the elections of May 6, 2018. It also offers basic information related to each district: the number of voters, the expected participation rate, the electoral quotient, the candidate’s ceiling on election expenditure, in addition to an analytical overview of the 2005 and 2009 elections, their results and alliances. The distribution of parties for 2018 is based on the research team’s analysis and estimates from different sources. 2 Table of Contents Page Introduction .......................................................................................................

THE COMMUNAL PACT OF NATIONAL IDENTITIES: THE MAKING AND POLITICS OF THE 1943 NATIONAL PACT * Farid el-Khazen t Since the outbreak of war in 1975, Lebanon has been the subject of a plethora of writing reflecting the divisive issues that have marked conflict. This contrasts with the dearth of writing on the period that immediately preceded the war, namely, the late 1960s and early I~~OS, which would have helped explain the process of disintegration that opened the country to almost all the destabilising forces that have swept the Middle East in the last three or four decades. The same can be said about another period, namely pre- independence Lebanon under the French mandate, beginning in the early 1920s with the establishment of the modern Lebanese state. Aside from the proclamation of the Constitution in 1926, the most important development that occurred in the next two decades was Lebanon's independence, achieved by the mid-1940s. The National Pact of 1943 (al-Mithaq al-Watani) was the new label that came to symbolise post-independence confessional politics, thereby crowning the process of change that occurred during the mandate both within Lebanon and in its regional order.

  • The Chameleon`S Jinking. the Druze Political Adaptation In
    Michaela Pokrupová. “The Chameleon`s Jinking. The Druze Political Adaptation in Lebanon.” In Beyond Globalisation: Exploring the Limits of Globalisation in the Regional Context (conference proceedings), 73-78. Ostrava: University of Ostrava Czech Republic, 2010. http://conference.osu.eu/globalization/publ/09-pokrupova.pdf. The Chameleon`s Jinking. The Druze Political Adaptation in Lebanon Michaela Pokrupová University of Ostrava Czech Republic Abstract The paper examines the Druze political adaptation and its allegiances on the Lebanese as well as international scene. It focuses on the two paramount leaders of the Jumblatt clan who are the key representatives of the Lebanese Left. Keywords: Jumblatt, Druze, Lebanon Here on these mountains, sun and wind commingle. Everything becomes silence and color. The Shuf is a noble solitary bird with white veils and the gestures of death. [Shuf, abbreviated, Tuéni Nadia Lebanon Poems of Love and War] Hereby, in order to establish a common national identity during the roaring inferno of the Lebanese civil war, Nadia Tuéni poetically describes the mountainous region of Shuf, a Druze territory and a piece of the Lebanese multisectarian mosaic imaginatively shaped in a white, yellow, blue, red and green coloured symbol of the Druze star. Allegorically, the noble solitaires could symbolize the two representatives of the Jumblatts, white veils could symbolize the ambiguity of the Druze policy and allegiancies, and the gestures of death point out the ubiquitous reflections of the everyday reality. The following paper focuses on the Druze ethnoreligious minority and its role in the Lebanese political circles. The Druze represent about 7% of the Lebanese population and thus form the fourth largest community (Shatzmiller 2005).

  • Internal to International Migration
    39807_u01.qxd 12/10/08 12:19 PM Page 21 chapter 1 From Internal to International Migration This chapter places Syrian immigration to the United States within a larger Ottoman framework and traces both continuities and discontinu- ities in patterns of migration into and out of the Arab provinces of the empire. In doing so, I counter the romanticized theory that Syrians immi- grated to the Americas because they had a predisposition, or a migratory “trait,” to pursue opportunities beyond Mediterranean shores.1 For ex- ample, in his 1999 open letter from the Lebanese Ministry of Emigrants, El Emir Talal Majid Arslan linked Lebanese emigration to a heroic Phoeni- cian precedent: “Our ancestors the Phoenicians were the first pioneers to venture the seas. They exchanged science with nations, spread the alpha- bet from Byblos with Cadmus, geometry from Tyre with Pythagoras, not to mention but two. As good merchants they introduced the market sys- tem of bargain trade. A few millennia later, Lebanese reinitiated the same process of migration.”2 For proponents of this theory, the Phoenicians of the first millennium BC were the pioneering emigrants from the land of Syria, the transmitters of a great tradition of movement, migration, and commerce.3 They be- queathed their love of adventure, commercial skills, and mercantile “mind” to their nineteenth-century descendants. Georges Moanack, writ- ing in French about the Lebanese emigration to Colombia, South Amer- ica, made the connection more explicit: “This call [to emigrate,] is it not the voice of the past, a residue of the Phoenician soul that continues to in- –s habit our souls?”4 The promotion of an ancient point of origin is common –o 21 Copyrighted Material 39807_u01.qxd 12/10/08 12:19 PM Page 22 22 From Internal to International Migration in narratives of migration.

  • Conflict on Mount Lebanon: Collective Memory and the War of the Mountain
    CONFLICT ON MOUNT LEBANON: COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND THE WAR OF THE MOUNTAIN A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Makram G Rabah, M.A. Washington, D.C. December 12, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Makram G Rabah All Rights Reserved ii CONFLICT ON MOUNT LEBANON COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND THE WAR OF THE MOUNTAIN Makram G Rabah, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Osama Abi-Mershed, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The Druze and Maronites, the founding communities of modern Lebanon, have clashed on more than one occasion over the past two centuries earning them the reputation of being primordial enemies. This study is an attempt to gauge the impact that collective memory had on determining the course and the nature of the conflict between these communities in Mount Lebanon in what came to be called the War of the Mountain in 1982. This dissertation will attempt to reconstruct, perhaps for the first time, the events of the 1982 war through the framework of collective remembrance. In doing so, the thesis hopes to achieve better understanding of the conflict as well as the consequences it had on the two communities and beyond, most importantly the post-war reconciliation process; which maybe applicable to other communal conflicts in the region. This dissertation extensively utilizes oral history, in some of its parts, to explore how collective memory has shaped the conflict between the two communities, by interviewing a number of informants from both (inside and outside) the Druze and Maronite communities who have been involved or were witnesses to the conflict.

  • The Role of Women in Lebanese Politics Eyal Zisser
    The Journal for Interdisciplinary Middle Eastern Studies Vol. 1, Fall 2017 Print ISSN: 2252-347X Online ISSN: 2252-6959 https://doi.org/10.26351/1 Under the Glass Ceiling and in the Family ‘Cage’ : The Role of Women in Lebanese Politics Eyal Zisser Abstract Throughout Lebanese history women have managed to reach the top of the political pyramid and fill leadership positions to a degree that does not exist in other Arab countries. While the phenomenon is most widespread in the Maronite Christian community, in the Druze, Shiite and Sunni communities it manifests itself mainly as women filling in for men or being the power behind the scenes. The political presence described above, however, does not represent a major breakthrough or the abandonment of the rather narrow framework that is generally available for women. In almost every case women who achieve political prominence are, at present or have been in the past, filling some position temporarily for their husbands or some other close relative, until the next male generation of the family can take over. This phenomenon is made possible mainly by the fragmented and family oriented character of Lebanese politics. The article examines the phenomenon of women leaders in Lebanon, through analyzing the case studies of such women after which it will discuss the importance and significance of this phenomenon. Keywords Lebanon; Women in Lebanon; Maronites; Druze; Nazira Jumblatt; Shiites. Author’s contact: Prof. Eyal Zisser, Tel Aviv University; [email protected] 5 6 Eyal Zisser Introduction At the beginning of June 2017 the Lebanese public indulged itself during the usual “summer heat wave,” with something that was truly a “storm in a teapot.” It had to do with the question of whether the movie “Wonder Woman” should be screened in the country or not.
