Full Profile (2014) Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafi (Culture Resource) Organization launched in 2009 a regional initiative aims to identify the main features of cultural policy in Arab countries. The ultimate goal is to build a Knowledge Base that supports cultural planning and collaboration in the region, as well as propose mechanisms to develop cultural work in Arab countries. First stage of the project targeted preliminary surveys of policies, legislations, and practices that guide cultural work in eight Arab countries: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. The process of Monitoring was conducted in the period between May 2009 and January 2010 by Arab researchers from all eight countries, and thus “Ettijahat. Independent culture” as the regional coordinator of the project developed the surveys and updated its information and data through specialized researchers who reviewed the information and amended it based on the most recent developments in the cultural scene. The study has been completed according to the Compendium model which is adopted in study about cultural policies around the world.

Cultural Context 1.1 Socio-cultural Perspective The cultural life in Lebanon is a product of diversity, immigration, conflicts and the aptitude of the Lebanese people for initiation, adaptation, openness, home economics and adjustment. It has always been characterized with a type of dynamism independent from official policies. The Lebanese cultural life, which walks side by side with the social and intellectual movement in Lebanon, is a product and sponsored by civilized diversity by the sectarian and ethnic groups. Due to these differences, there will be diversity in the visions of cultural policies, as well as the cultural life. Some consider the National charter of 1943 represented the Arab aspects of Lebanon while others believe that Lebanon is a diverse and independent state with communal characteristics (Cultural Roots of Lebanese Wars, Reverend Kameel Mubarak and Dr. Jan Paul). Undoubtedly, there is a difference in vision of cultural policies with regard to the aforementioned differences. Furthermore, the cultural life wasn’t established based on a cultural policy because the Ministry of Culture and the Higher Education minstry didn’t exist till 1993 and has not yet established on an integrated cultural policy. This is evident in the political thinking and the dispute concerning the education curricula as the main problem in this regard seems to be the agreement on the dimensions of the Lebanese civilization and its sources as well as the Lebanese history and its components. This stems from an objective disagreement about the essence of Lebanon between Christians and Muslims. On one hand, Christians believe in Lebanon; the permanent home on its own with free political directions. On the other hand, Muslims, especially the Sunnis, believe that Lebanon is part of the Arab World, from which Lebanon derived its culture and civilization and it should return to the Arab World in all cases and issues. Therefore, the dispute stands especially concerning the book of history; which history we want? Moreover, culture in Lebanon is still the product of civil organizations while public organizations produce cultural activities distributed by different

  • Minister of Counterculture
    26 Guardian Weekly December 23 2005-January 5 2006 Culture Gilberto Gil is a musical legend - and now a senior Brazilian politician. He tz Minister of counterculture Gilberto Gil wears a sober suit and tie these days, and his dreadlocks are greying at the temples. But you soon remember that, as well as the serving culture minister of Brazil, you are in the presenceof one of the biggest l,atin American musicians of the 60s and 70s when you ask him about his intellectual influences and he cites Timothy l,eary. "Oh, yeah!" Gil says happily, rocking back in his chair at the Royal SocietyoftheArts in London. "Forexam- ple, all those guys at Silicon Valley - they're all coming basically from the psychedelic culture, you know? The brain-expanding processesof the crystal had a lot to do with the internet." Much as it may be currently de rigueur for journalists to ask politicians whether or not they have smoked marijuana, the question does not seem worth the effort. Gil's constant references to the hippy counterculture are not simplythe nostalgia of a 63-year-old with more than 4O albums to his name. For several years now, largely under the rest of the world's radar, the Braeilian government has been building a counterculture ofits own. The battlefield has been intellectual property - the ownership ofideas - and the revolution has touched everything, from internet file- sharing to GM crops to HIV medication. Phar- maceutical companies selling patented Aids drugs, for example, were informed that Brazil would simply ignore their claims to ownership and copy their products more cheaply if they didn't offer deep discounts.

    LEBANESE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY The Syrian Conflict: Through the Lens of Realpolitik By Alexander Ortiz A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in International Affairs School of Arts and Sciences January 2014 To loved ones v Acknowledgments To Professors Salamey, Skulte-Ouasis, and Baroudi. Thank You for everything. Your guidance and help over the length of the program has been much appreciated. To Professor Rowayheb, thank you for being on my thesis board. vi The Syrian Conflict: Through the Lens of Realpolitik Alexander Ortiz Abstract This thesis examines power relations in the security vacuum created by the Syrian conflict. The conflicting nature of Syrian domestic politics has created a political stalemate that needs outside support to be resolved. Inaction on the part of the greater international community has allowed for regional powers to become highly entrenched in the conflict. Regional involvement and the demographics of Syrian parties have been used by popular mediums to describe the conflict as sectarian by nature. The central point of this thesis is to show that the veneer of sectarianism by all parties, both Syrian and regional, is primarily a by-product of competitive self-interest. This is done by showing that the relationships made between Syrian groups and their patrons are based on self-interest and the utility provided in these temporary unions. The seminal political theories of Locke and Hobbes concerning the foundations of political power show the Syrian groups to be acting upon political necessity, not sect. The ambitions of regional powers are analyzed through realist theory to explain power relations in an unregulated political environment both in Syria and in the region.

In between, life happened. I would not have been able to finish this project without the support of many people no acknowledgment would do justice to, but I will try. Mona Fawaz, my thesis advisor, provided patient advice over the years. Throughout our meetings, she continuously added more nuances to this work, and pointed out all the analytical steps I have missed. The rigor and political commitment of her scholarship are admirable and inspirational. Thank you Mona for your patience, and your enthusiasm about this work and its potential. Mona Harb has closely accompanied my journey in the MUPP program and beyond. Her support throughout various stages of this work and my professional career were crucial. Thank you. In subtle and obvious ways, I am very much their student. Hiba Bou Akar’s work was the original inspiration behind this thesis. Her perseverance and academic creativity are a model to follow. She sets a high bar. Thank you Hiba. Nisreen Salti witnessed my evolution from a sophomore at the economics department to a graduate student. Her comments as someone from outside the discipline were enlightening.

Gerges Department of International Relations London School of Economics London, UK Nader Hashemi Center for Middle East Studies Josef Korbel School of International Studies University of Denver Denver, CO, USA The Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the US invasion and occupation of Iraq have dramatically altered the ­geopolitical landscape of the contemporary Middle East. The Arab Spring uprisings have complicated this picture. This series puts forward a critical body of first-rate scholarship that reflects the current political and social realities of the region, focusing on original research about contentious politics and social movements; political institutions; the role played by non-­governmental organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood; and the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Other themes of interest include Iran and Turkey as emerging pre-eminent powers in the region, the former an ‘Islamic Republic’ and the latter an emerging democracy currently governed by a party with Islamic roots; the Gulf monarchies, their petrol economies and regional ambitions; potential problems of nuclear proliferation in the region; and the challenges ­confronting the United States, Europe, and the United Nations in the greater Middle East.
