It has become globalized and has adapted to different environments and social contexts. Today in Beirut, Lebanon a phenomenal street art movement is infiltrating public space.

Executive summary Lebanon, a small Mediterranean state neighboring Syria and Israel, celebrated its 68th anniversary of independence in November 2011. A democratic republic, with a multi-confessional and pluralistic society, Lebanon has often been a fertile arena for internal strife and external interventions; it has paid a high price to maintain this colorful mosaic amidst extremely fundamentalist and totalitarian regimes.

  • Sectarianism from Below: Youth Politics in Post-War Lebanon
    Sectarianism from Below: Youth Politics in Post-war Lebanon by Elinor Bray-Collins A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Elinor Bray-Collins 2016 Sectarianism from Below: Youth Politics in Post-war Lebanon Elinor Bray-Collins Doctor of Philosophy Political Science, University of Toronto 2016. ABSTRACT In this dissertation I examine why sectarianism persists among Lebanese youth. While much of the literature on communal conflict focuses on macro-level factors and elite-based explanations, I look to different, finer, levels of analysis for a fuller picture of how communal dynamics are reproduced, and why they persist—even where the literature would expect to find them lacking, such as among educated, economically secure young Lebanese, in western-oriented universities, or civil society movements. I argue that youth themselves, and particularly the young partisans of Lebanon’s political parties, play an active role in the reproduction and rejuvenation of sectarian political dynamics ‘from below.’ The networking, strategies, and activities of youth within their political spheres constitute a ‘feedback mechanism’ operating at the grassroots to reproduce Lebanon’s particular sectarian institutional configuration. I contend that youth not only contribute to the reproduction of sectarianism, they also help to renew and rejuvenate its appeal among their peers. I examine three spheres of youth politics: the university campus; youth-led civil society movements; and youth wings of political parties. I find that far from being the ‘blind followers’ of manipulative elites depicted in the literature, Lebanese youth act with more autonomy than is often assumed; generating new culture, styles, and social networks—all of which are imbued with sectarian affiliation.

  • VALUATING URBAN HERITAGE in a DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE the Roles of Designation and Appropriation for Heritage Policy Design in Lebanon
    Sciences Po PSIA – Paris School of International Affairs Master in International Development VALUATING URBAN HERITAGE in a DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE The roles of designation and appropriation for heritage policy design in Lebanon Elisabetta Pietrostefani Master’s thesis supervised by Vincent Geronimi, Senior Lecturer at the University Versailles-St Quentin and Sciences Po.

All authorisation requests should be sent to [email protected] Elisabetta Pietrostefani Sciences Po – PSIA Valuating Urban Heritage in a Development Perspective 2013-2014 Abstract For development policies, cultural heritage is seen as an asset on account of its historic, cultural and socio-economic significance in contemporary society, particularly in relation to the identity of cities and their economies. The World Bank, the French Development Agency and the EU have in fact executed international aid projects integrating urban heritage to their development strategies. These projects are particularly relevant in light of the changing nature of urban areas presenting high risks for heritage because of urban growth. In developing countries, however, urban heritage is often an under-employed and under-protected asset. Lebanon presents such an example, where urban heritage is in particular danger despite previous urban heritage and development projects such as the World Bank’s Cultural Heritage and Development Project (CHUD). This thesis has adopted Lebanon as a case study to illustrate urban heritage valuation as the first essential step for the design of effective urban heritage policies or renovation projects aiming for local development.
