Avant-Propos De L'édition Numérique Avant-propos de l’édition numérique Libanavenir entre dans une deuxième étape À mes compatriotes libanais, prenons notre destin en main et agissons * * * Les sept ans de vie du site libanavenir ont permis de produire les Cahiers de Liban Avenir, imprimés à l’automne 2018. Ces cahiers sont désormais publiés sur Internet. Vous pouvez y avoir accès librement et gratuitement sur le site (www.libanavenir.wordpress.com) en lecture et en téléchargement. Notre équipe est convaincue que vous y trouverez des idées pour contribuer à construire, à terme, un État et créer une nation, grâce à votre implication personnelle. Un outil de travail et de réflexion destiné à cette jeunesse qui aspire à entrer en politique, et même s’y prépare, ainsi que pour les plus anciens qui cherchent des voies pour retrouver l’espoir. Les sujets de ces Cahiers sont multiples : politiques, écologiques, historiques, de réflexion. Ils sont listés par thème dans la table des matières et ont pour point commun d’aborder sous divers angles, les problèmes que connaît le Liban. Analysés, comparés, argumentés, ces éléments de réflexion ont vocation à aider ceux qui souhaitent s’engager à regarder nos réalités en face, et à trouver des solutions adaptées à notre pays. Avec cette matière, nous souhaitons favoriser la proximité et la solidarité et créer du lien afin de rompre ce cercle vicieux de méfiance vis-à-vis de l’autre perçu comme une menace, d’où un repli sur la famille, la tribu, la communauté, et un rejet de l’autre. Un cercle vicieux entretenu au sein même du pays du fait de notre système politique confessionnel qui joue sur nos communautés et nous divise, sans compter les vents contraires lorsqu’ils soufflent de l’extérieur. Ce site est conçu pour établir des échanges que nous souhaitons fructueux : * Dans le domaine des actions sur le terrain : Échange dans le sens, vous et entre vous, compatriotes, vers le site : récit de vos démarches, de vos actions. Ce qui permet de les faire connaître et d’en faire bénéficier les participants au site, et de recueillir, pourquoi pas des suggestions. * Dans le domaine politique : Échange là aussi, dans le sens vous, compatriotes vers le site, pour dire où vous en êtes dans votre réflexion, voire dans votre action personnelle, pour demander de traiter certains thèmes, d’approfondir d’autres… Le site maintiendra le principe des Rendez-vous sur des sujets qui me tiennent à cœur. À nous, qui gardons espoir en notre pays et en son peuple, nous disons : ALLONS-Y. Impliquons-nous personnellement. Et soyez les bienvenus pour faire vivre cette nouvelle étape de Libanavenir.

  • 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. Academic Year 2013/2014 The copyright of this Master's thesis remains the property of its author. No part of the content may be reproduced, published, distributed, copied or stored for public or private use without written permission of the author. 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.

  • Lebanon 1982-1984
    The London School of Economics and Political Science From Peacemaking to ‘Vigorous Self-Defense’: US Foreign Policy and the Multinational Force in Lebanon 1982-1984 Corrin Varady A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, March 2015. 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 my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 100,326 words. Statement of use of third party for editorial help I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Ms Demetra Frini. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study on the use of military force in United States peacemaking in Lebanon between 1982 and 1984. It argues that the failure of the Reagan Administration to understand accurately the complex political landscape of the Lebanese Civil War resulted in the US and the Multinational Force in Beirut becoming intertwined in the broader Lebanese conflict.

I am thankful also to Dr. William Harris for his editorial help and valuable comments. My warm thanks to Mrs. Susan DeMarco for undertaking the difficult task of typing the first draft of this manuscript despite the illegibility of my handwriting. I am thankful also to Ms Betty Pilgrim who continued, cheerfully, to type and retype and print this thesis. None of those mentioned here are responsible for errors or deficiencies of my work.
