In the book, the authors presented a first systematic study of the frequency, intensity, and severity of civil wars across the world since 1816 and noted the importance of studying civil wars as follows: civil wars, insurgencies, and foreign interventions have come to dominate the headlines in our generation and many now play as important a role in the international community as traditional interstate war (Small and Singer 1982: 204-205). Today the devastation and human costs of civil wars on the globe have dominated daily- headlines. A study published in 2003 estimated that our generation witnessed over sixteen million deaths in 127 civil wars within 73 countries compared to three million deaths in 25 interstate wars involving 25 countries between

  • Syria and the 1975 – 76 Civil War in Lebanon*
    Syria and the 1975 – 76 Civil War in Lebanon SYRIA AND THE 1975 – 76 CIVIL WAR IN LEBANON* Karol R. SORBY Institute of Oriental Studies, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Klemensova 19, 813 64 Bratislava, Slovakia [email protected] After 1970 the PLO, driven out of Jordan, made Lebanon its operational base. It did not want to enter the civil war, but it sided with any group that espoused Arab nationalism and wanted to liberate Palestine. It was a Maronite militia’s attacks on the Palestinians that sparked the fighting in April 1975, committing the PLO to the Arab nationalist side. The Lebanese conflict was also a struggle between a privileged class of landowners and merchants trying to preserve the status quo and a large mass of poor people (mainly Muslim) striving for more equality. The two main Lebanese parties to the conflict were the Phalanges, a largely Maronite force, and the Lebanese National Movement which was mainly Muslim. The Muslim side won the support of the PLO. One puzzling aspect of this civil war was Syria’s 1976 policy shift. President Éāfi÷ al-Asad first backed the rebels both morally and materially. He managed to get the Christians to accept a cease-fire, but the Muslim Lebanese, abetted by the PLO, rejected his proposed compromise. This rejection made Éāfi÷ al-Asad change sides and his forces battered the Muslims and the PLO into submission by the autumn of 1976. Key words: the Lebanese civil war, Christian militias, the Lebanese National Movement, the shift in Syria’s policy Despite Arab support for the PLO and the international attention it was able to generate, the PLO would not have been able to operate as an autonomous movement in the absence of the sanctuary it found in Lebanon.1 In the years following the Six-Day War, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict intruded on Lebanese political life.

  • Militia Politics
    INTRODUCTION Humboldt – Universität zu Berlin Dissertation MILITIA POLITICS THE FORMATION AND ORGANISATION OF IRREGULAR ARMED FORCES IN SUDAN (1985-2001) AND LEBANON (1975-1991) Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil) Philosophische Fakultät III der Humbold – Universität zu Berlin (M.A. B.A.) Jago Salmon; 9 Juli 1978; Canberra, Australia Dekan: Prof. Dr. Gert-Joachim Glaeßner Gutachter: 1. Dr. Klaus Schlichte 2. Prof. Joel Migdal Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 18.07.2006 INTRODUCTION You have to know that there are two kinds of captain praised. One is those who have done great things with an army ordered by its own natural discipline, as were the greater part of Roman citizens and others who have guided armies. These have had no other trouble than to keep them good and see to guiding them securely. The other is those who not only have had to overcome the enemy, but, before they arrive at that, have been necessitated to make their army good and well ordered. These without doubt merit much more praise… Niccolò Machiavelli, The Art of War (2003, 161) INTRODUCTION Abstract This thesis provides an analysis of the organizational politics of state supporting armed groups, and demonstrates how group cohesion and institutionalization impact on the patterns of violence witnessed within civil wars. Using an historical comparative method, strategies of leadership control are examined in the processes of organizational evolution of the Popular Defence Forces, an Islamist Nationalist militia, and the allied Lebanese Forces, a Christian Nationalist militia. The first group was a centrally coordinated network of irregular forces which fielded ill-disciplined and semi-autonomous military units, and was responsible for severe war crimes.

  • Dec 1977 - Fighting in South - Increased Israeli Involvement - Diplomatic Exchanges Culminating in Chtaura Peace Agreement - Subsequent Developments
    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume 23, December, 1977 Lebanon, Page 28734 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. Dec 1977 - Fighting in South - Increased Israeli Involvement - Diplomatic Exchanges culminating in Chtaura Peace Agreement - Subsequent Developments Particularly severe fighting began in the south on Sept. 16 around Khiam after further discussions between Lebanese and US officials at which the former failed to obtain a firm assurance that Israel would not invade southern Lebanon. Fighting continued as Christian forces in Marjayoun and Koleya exchanged fire with Palestinians in Khiam and the nearby crusader castle of Beaufort, while there were violent clashes around the Al Khardali bridge between Nabatiyah and Marjayoun and heavy artillery fire at Bennt Jbail. While the Palestinians maintained control of Khiam itself, they lost the surrounding villages of Ibl el Saki, Blat, Kawkaba and Mari. With the apparent approval of Syrian deterrent force troops, Palestinian reinforcements were moved down from the Bekaa valley, north of the Arqoub, to the enclave near Mount Hermon Syrian troops did not intervene in the fighting although there were reports that several Israeli howitzer shells had fallen close to Syrian positions in overnight bombardments of nearby Palestinian positions. As soon as the new fighting had broken out Mr Arafat went to the front and was understood to have directed Palestinian forces there. The PLO central council, meeting on Sept. 18, accused Israel of “aggression under cover of the isolationists “ and appealed to the Arab world to support the Palestinians who “did not have at their disposal the same means as the enemy”, while Mr Arafat claimed that the Israeli Army was equipped with US military weapons-“probably” including nuclear warheads-and intended eventually to occupy the south of Lebanon.

  • From Evidence to Opportunity: State
    From Evidence to Opportunity A Second Assessment of the State of Northern Ireland’s Environment 2013 Ministerial Foreword Our rich and varied natural environment and built heritage lie at the heart of our lives and are central to building a strong economy and sense of well-being. This second report on the State of the Environment in Northern Ireland brings together recent information on how our environment is performing across land, water, sea and air. The indicators and emerging trends show complex interactions between different parts of our environment and how our activities in one area can impact on another. In some areas, such as in water quality and recycling, we are making steady progress whilst in others, such as reversing the decline in our biodiversity, significant challenges remain. We recognise that there are shortfalls and gaps in our knowledge but the evidence highlights how we need to respond. A better understanding of the pressures we face will help us to make the right decisions in creating a healthy and prosperous society which is resilient to change. This report will make a valuable contribution to this process. The challenges identified in our first report on climate change, biodiversity and land use have been brought into even sharper focus as we adopt new approaches to stimulate growth following the global economic downturn. To address these challenges we need to recognise in all our decision-making the full value of the services our natural environment and built heritage provide in underpinning a healthy economy, prosperity and well-being. All of us have a role to play in shaping the environment we want for our future.

  • WARS and WOES a Chronicle of Lebanese Violence1
    The Levantine Review Volume 1 Number 1 (Spring 2012) OF WARS AND WOES A Chronicle of Lebanese Violence1 Mordechai Nisan* In the subconscious of most Lebanese is the prevalent notion—and the common acceptance of it—that the Maronites are the “head” of the country. ‘Head’ carries here a double meaning: the conscious thinking faculty to animate and guide affairs, and the locus of power at the summit of political office. While this statement might seem outrageous to those unversed in the intricacies of Lebanese history and its recent political transformations, its veracity is confirmed by Lebanon’s spiritual mysteries, the political snarls and brinkmanship that have defined its modern existence, and the pluralistic ethno-religious tapestry that still dominates its demographic makeup. Lebanon’s politics are a clear representation of, and a response to, this seminal truth. The establishment of modern Lebanon in 1920 was the political handiwork of Maronites—perhaps most notable among them the community’s Patriarch, Elias Peter Hoyek (1843-1931), and public intellectual and founder of the Alliance Libanaise, Daoud Amoun (1867-1922).2 In recognition of this debt, the President of the Lebanese Republic has by tradition been always a Maronite; the country’s intellectual, cultural, and political elites have hailed largely from the ranks of the Maronite community; and the Patriarch of the Maronite Church in Bkirke has traditionally held sway as chief spiritual and moral figure in the ceremonial and public conduct of state affairs. In the unicameral Lebanese legislature, the population decline of the Christians as a whole— Maronites, Greek Orthodox, Catholics, and Armenians alike—has not altered the reality of the Maronites’ pre-eminence; equal confessional parliamentary representation, granting Lebanon’s Christians numerical parity with Muslims, still defines the country’s political conventions.

Walid Raad Uses Fact and Fiction to Tell a Powerful History of Beirut 1/5/21, 4(20 PM One of these short, black-and-white films depicted workers demolishing the remaining wall of a small structure. Armed with pickaxes and sledgehammers, they eventually knocked down the wall and were engulfed in a cloud of dust. Then, slowly, the workers moved backwards; the dust cloud was magically reabsorbed and the wall stood back up, to the audienceʼs astonishment. This extraordinary film by the Lumières is echoed in Sweet Talk: Commissions (Beirut)_Solidere 1994-1997, a panoramic video installation by Walid Raad in his current exhibition at Paula Cooper Gallery. The three-channel color video is tellingly composed as a Rorschach test, with mirroring images above and below a central horizontal.
