  • 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 Special Tribunal for Lebanon - the Key to National Convergence, Or a New Recipe for Strife?
    Transitional Justice for Lebanon: The Special Tribunal for Lebanon - the key to national convergence, or a new recipe for strife? Master thesis Political Science ‘International Relations’: Power and resistance in the Middle East Name: Arthur Blok (10373004) First reader: Dr. Anne de Jong Second reader: Dr. Vivienne Matthies-Boon Date: June 2014 Word count: 20.768 2 Abstract Transitional Justice is a broad term used for a variety of legal measures taken to address a country’s violent past. Often the wrongdoings of predecessor regimes or atrocities committed during a war. A typical transitional justice measure in this respect is the establishment of national or international courts. The Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is the most recently established international court. It was set up in 2007 by the United Nations Security Council after a request was filed by the then Premier Foad Saniora to prosecute and try the suspects involved in the assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri. Lebanon did not have the means to seriously deal with the assassination and its aftermath without assistance. Lack of political consensus in Lebanon on the subject of the STL created a status quo in which the Council used Chapter VII of the UN Charter to force through the establishment of the tribunal. Since that moment it is one of the main topics that politically divides Lebanon. At the same time it is the first state- sponsored transitional justice measure in a country that has a long tradition of impunity. This thesis is intended to help to determine the scenarios in which an international court actually helps a society to come to terms with its past or when it harms that process.

  • The Political Affiliation of Lebanese Parliamentarians and the Composition of the Different Parliamentary Blocs IFES Lebanon
    Lebanon’s 2009 Parliamentary Elections The political affiliation of Lebanese Parliamentarians and the composition of the different parliamentary blocs International Foundation for Electoral Systems IFES Lebanon Briefing Paper September 2009 Lebanon’s 2009 Parliamentary Elections have resulted in a majority of 71 deputies and an opposition of 57 deputies. Each coalition is composed of different political parties and independent deputies. However, on the 31 st of August, and after the recent position of MP Walid Jumblatt, the Majority forces held a meeting at the residence of designate PM Saad Hariri. While 67 deputies attended the meeting and 2 deputies were outside of Lebanon, MP Najib Mikati and MP Ahmad Karami were not present and declared themselves as “centrists”. The table (1) provides the number of Parliamentarians belonging to each political party and the number of independent Parliamentarians. The table (2) gives the number of deputies in each parliamentary bloc as they stand now. The table (3) provides the political affiliation and the parliamentary bloc of each deputy, indicating that some deputies are members of more than one parliamentary bloc, but within the same coalition of the majority or the opposition. These data are subject to change based on the future political developments.

  • The Reconstruction of Downtown Beirut in Post-Civil War Lebanon
    LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE Actually Existing Neoliberalism: The reconstruction of Downtown Beirut in post-civil war Lebanon Hadi Makarem A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations London, September 2014 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. Statement of use of third party for editorial help I can confirm that my thesis was proofread for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Grove Proofreading & Editorial Services. 2 Abstract This thesis assesses neoliberal urban developments in post-civil war Lebanon. It does so by focusing on the reconstruction of Downtown Beirut, which contributed towards: firstly, increasing a public debt that was burdening the country at the time; and secondly, reproducing sectarian divisions in Lebanese politics and society. To explain this outcome, this thesis analyses the policies of specific agents who were involved in, and in control of, the reconstruction process.
