Foremost, I thank my supervisor Meg Stalcup for her continuous support, guidance, and encouragement through the countless deadlines and panic-driven days, even weeks. I thank my committee members, Vincent Mirza and Thushara Hewage, for their advice, support, and interest in my work. I also thank my cohort for their support and encouragement throughout the storms. Without the sacrifices and support of my parents, Kamal and Maya, none of this would have been possible. I offer my thanks and love to them, whom I’ve deeply missed over the course of the last few years. And of course, I send love to my brothers, Jamil and Sammy. I thank my friends – William, Ely, Omar, and Zein - for the endless support, the painful laughs, and good company. The heavenly home cooked food definitely did help in those gloomy days. I love these people. I thank Kareem for his constant support and insight. I thank the amazing people that I have had the honor to meet because of this work.

    LÄNDERBERICHT Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. LIBANON DR. MALTE GAIER 10. Mai 2018 Nach den Parlamentswahlen: Balance der Macht bleibt erhalten www.kas.de/libanon LIBANONS POLITISCHER KONFESSIONALISMUS ÜBERDAUERT AUCH DIESE WAHLEN – DENNOCH MÜSSEN POLITIK, STAAT UND GESELLSCHAFT UMDENKEN Zum ersten Mal seit neun Jahren hat der Libanon am 6. Mai 2018 über ein neues Parla- ment abgestimmt. Nach dreifacher Verlängerung der Amtszeit des Kabinetts hatten rund 3,7 Mio. Wähler, davon über 21% Erstwähler, zum ersten Mal seit langem wieder die Chance, aktiv die Politik ihres Landes mitzugestalten. Doch nach monatelangem Wahlkampf und großen Hoffnungen auf Veränderungen an den politischen Verhältnis- sen im Land hat sich im Libanon auch dieses Mal am Ende wieder nur der Status Quo mit seiner fein austarierten Machtbalance zwischen den verschiedenen Lagern bestätigt. Dennoch haben die Wahlen viele Einblicke in einen langsam voranschreitenden, lang- fristigen Wandlungsprozess erlaubt. Hintergrund Nachdem die Amtszeit des libanesischen Präsidenten Michel Sleiman im Mai 2014 ausgelau- fen war, konnte sich das Parlament erst nach 45 Wahlgängen auf einen Nachfolger einigen. Bis im Oktober 2016 General Michel Aoun zum zwölften Präsidenten des Libanons ernannt wurde, blieb die Stelle vakant. Auch die politische Legitimierung des Parlaments war bereits 2013 abgelaufen, die politischen Fraktionen waren aufgrund von möglichen Änderungen im Wahlrecht jedoch gespalten. Zudem begründete auch die angespannte Sicherheitslage durch den Krieg in Syrien eine vorläufige Aussetzung der Parlamentswahlen, woraufhin das Parlament sein Mandat eigenständig zweimal bis zum Juni 2017 verlängerte. Diese Ent- scheidung wurde vom obersten Verfassungsrat zwar als verfassungswidrig, aber aufgrund der „außergewöhnlichen Umstände“ als angemessen bewertet. Nach der Ernennung General Michel Aouns zum Präsidenten wurden die Wahlen erneut um ein Jahr verschoben, um die seit 2005 angestoßenen Reformen des Wahlgesetzes abzuschließen, welches im Juni 2017 verabschiedet wurde.

Her research focuses on parliamentary representation, namely electoral behavior and electoral reform. She has also previously contributed to LCPS’s work on international donors conferences and reform programs. She holds a degree in Politics and Quantitative Methods from the University of Edinburgh. Executive Summary The representation of women in Lebanese politics has always been disproportionately low. Not only is the historical framework of power in Lebanon patriarchal in nature, but the country’s political families are all led by men as well. Under the majoritarian systems that have dominated parliamentary and municipal elections since the end of the civil war, electoral results have always sidelined women.

Dynamiques dynastiques au Liban : transmettre le pouvoir politique en famille par Ward Vloeberghs Le Liban offre un cadre exceptionnellement riche à l’analyse du phénomène dynastique en politique. On y trouve non seulement des dynasties « jeunes », dont les deux ou trois dernières générations seulement ont occupé des postes de pouvoir au niveau national, mais aussi un nombre remarquable de familles établies depuis le XVIIIe siècle au moins, et qui se sont transmis le pouvoir sur quatre, cinq, voire six générations. Ces dynasties politiques prospèrent par ailleurs dans le cadre d’une démocratie consociative. Contrairement à d’autres pays de la région, le Liban ne connaît pas de régime autoritaire auquel la « dérive dynastique »1 servirait de mécanisme de survie.
