  • City, War and Geopolitics: the Relations Between Militia Political Violence
    City, war and geopolitics: the relations between militia political violence and the built environment of Beirut in the early phases of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1976) Sara Fregonese NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------- ----------------- 207 32628 4 ---------------------------- Thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology Newcastle University May 2008 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk ORIGINAL COpy TIGHTLY BOUND IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk . PAGE NUMBERING AS ORIGINAL IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl,uk NO CD/DVD ATIACHED PLEASE APPLY TO THE UNIVERSITY Thesis abstract The thesis deals with the relationships between political violence and the built environment of Beirut during the early phases of the Lebanese civil war (1975-1976). It investigates how the daily practices of urban warfare and the urban built fabric impacted on each other, and specifically how the violent targeting of the built fabric relates to contested discourses of power and identity enacted by the urban militias. The study is the result of residential fieldwork in Beirut, where I held in-depth interviews with former militia combatants, media representatives, academics and practitioners in urban studies and architecture, as well as conducting archival search into bibliographical, visual and microfilm sources in Arabic, English and French. Official geopolitical discourses in international diplomacy about the civil war between 1975 and 1976 focused on nation-state territoriality, and overlooked a number of complex specifications of a predominantly urban conflict. This led occasionally to an oversimplification of the war and of Beirut as chaos.

  • 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 .......................................................................................................

  • LIBYA CONFLICT: SITUATION UPDATE May 2011
    U.S. & Coalition Operations and Statements LIBYA CONFLICT: SITUATION UPDATE May 2011 MAY 27: Russia has shifted its position on Libya and now believes Qaddafi has lost the legitimacy to rule and should leave power. Russia has offered to mediate a ceasefire and negotiate his departure with senior members of Qaddafi’s inner-circle. The pivot in Russian policy comes after a meeting between President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Russian at the G8 summit in France. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been highly critical of the NATO bombing campaign and Medvedev’s earlier decision to not veto the U.N Security Council resolution authorizing the allied action. After Medvedev’s decision, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, “Colonel Gaddafi has deprived himself of legitimacy with his actions, we should help him leave.” New( York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Reuters, Reuters, Al-Jazeera) MAY 27: The G8 nations announced in their joint summit communiqué that Qaddafi had no future role in a democratic Libya and the group demanded the regime’s forces cease their attacks against civilians. The communiqué stated that those behind the killing of civilians would be investigated and punished. (Reuters) MAY 27: British officials cleared the use of attack helicopters in Libya on Thursday. British officials have said that the addition of British Apaches and French Tiger helicopters into the battle will allow for low-level, precision attacks on urban targets, including Libyan officials. In a shift, the helicopters will be operated under NATO command instead of national command, NATO officials said that four Apache attack helicopters were available from the assault ship HMS Ocean as well as four Tigers aboard the French helicopter carrier Tonnerre.

  • Lebanon, Iran and the ‘Long War’ in the ‘Wider Middle East’
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Aufheben Lebanon, Iran and the ‘Long War’ in the ‘Wider Middle East’ Bushehr on the coast of the Persian Gulf and thereby seize the bulk of Iran’s oil fields. By the Spring, many antiwar activists had convinced themselves that once the diplomatic formalities were disposed of, Bush was hellbent on launching some form of devastating attack on Iran. War, it was asserted, was merely a matter of months away.1 These fears seemed to be given further credence by Seymour Hersh’s interviews with a wide range of leading figures in the Bush administration.2 However, although these interviews showed that a more bellicose attitude towards Iran was gaining ground in Washington, it also showed that many in and around the Bush administration were not only alarmed by the advance of such attitudes, but, by agreeing to be interviewed by Hersh, wanted their alarm to be known. Therefore a more subtle reading of Hersh’s report on these interviews indicated that there were important divisions within the Bush administration concerning the direction of foreign policy towards Iran. Furthermore, on closer inspection, the military plans that were cited to support the contention that Bush was planning an imminent attack on Iran turned out to be either shifts in broad long-term military doctrines or else detailed contingency plans. The fact that the Pentagon had accepted that under certain circumstances the US army might use tactical nuclear weapons, or that plans existed for the Introduction invasion of Iran did not mean that Bush was intending to implement such plans. This was clearly the case with Pilger’s Following the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as revelation that the US had plans to invade the province of President in July 2005, there was a decisive shift in Iranian Bushehr.

    United Nations A/HRC/19/68 Advance Unedited Version Distr.: General 2 March 2012 Original: English Human Rights Council Nineteenth session Agenda item 4 Human rights situation that require the Council’s attention Report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Libya* ** *** * Late submission. ** The annexes are reproduced as received, in the languages of the submission only. *** Pursuant to General Assembly resolution 66/1, the credentials of the National Transitional Council were accepted and a change was made in the name of the country, which was previously known as the “Libyan Arab Jamahiriya”. Summary In emergency session, the Human Rights Council on 25 February 2011 established the International Commission of Inquiry on Libya and gave it the mandate “to investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law in Libya, to establish the facts and circumstances of such violations and of the crimes perpetrated and, where possible, to identify those responsible, to make recommendations, in particular, on accountability measures, all with a view to ensuring that those individuals responsible are held accountable”. The Commission conducted its investigations applying the international legal regimes dictated by the situation. It concluded that international crimes, specifically crimes against humanity and war crimes, were committed by Qadhafi forces in Libya. Acts of murder, enforced disappearance, and torture were perpetrated within the context of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population. The Commission found additional violations including unlawful killing, individual acts of torture and ill-treatment, attacks on civilians, and rape. The Commission further concluded that the thuwar (anti-Qadhafi forces) committed serious violations, including war crimes and breaches of international human rights law, the latter continuing at the time of the present report.

It integrates the land, air and maritime aspects of conflict and strikes 3 a reasonable balance between the context and the events of the history of war 4 and conflict.’ 5 Stanley Carpenter, Professor of Strategy and Policy, 6 US Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island 7 ‘An excellent stimulus to thought and to further study . very good on the 8 theoretical underpinning of military history, the distinction between wars and 9 battles and the necessity of examining strategy in the political context.’ 2011 Dan Todman, Lecturer in Modern History, 1 Queen Mary, University of London 2 3 This lucid account of military developments around the modern world begins 4 with the American War of Independence and the French Revolutionary Wars and 5 continues chronologically to the latest conflicts in the 2000s. It combines global 6 coverage with thought-provoking analysis, dealing not only with the military 7 aspects of conflict but also with the social, cultural, political and economic aspects 8 and consequences of such conflict. By placing the familiar or known alongside the 9 largely unknown, it forces the reader to reassess the standard grand narrative of 30 military history that rests on assumptions of Western cultural and technological 1 superiority. It will be essential reading for students in universities worldwide, whether studying modern military history, modern world history, history and inter- 2 national relations or war and society. 3 4 Specially designed to be user-friendly,
