    AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT IN THE SHADOW OF PLANNING? ECONOMIC AND COMMUNAL INTERESTS IN THE MAKING OF THE SHEMLAN MASTER PLAN by LANA SLEIMAN SALMAN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning and Policy to the Department of Architecture and Design of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at the American University of Beirut Beirut, Lebanon January 2014 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis has been in the making for longer than I would like to admit. 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.

  • Kamal Jumblat: the Teacher, the Leader
    1 Nazek Abu-Ilwan ABED KAMAL JUMBLAT: “THE TEACHER,” THE LEADER Submitted to Fairfax University, USA as part of the Learning Plan aspect of the program requirements leading to the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D) Philosophy December 2002 2 ABSTRACT As a seeker of knowledge, and a reader who has the mania of exploring; who is attracted to high principles, and who is searching to find a meaning to life, I have found Kamal Jumblat- the Lebanese philosopher- both; the reference and the master. Jumblat has left a rich heritage that answers the major concerns of the uplifted spirits. In admiration of his transparent soul and illuminating philosophy, I have chosen him the subject of my research work, so I can be one of the witnesses on his idealism and integrity that were revealed in both: his words and actions. Jumblat led an abundant life for which the French author, Remon Bernard, considered him “A school of pure high wisdom.” I have chosen the English language to write this research so I may contribute in introducing Kamal Jumblat’s great legacy to a large audience in the English speaking countries. For what has been written about him in English is very limited in contrast to what he was, and to what has been written in French and Arabic. Kamal Jumblat has attained local, Arabic, and international recognition. A Lebanese author says about him: “We continue publishing what is written about him; Kamal Jumblat is a torch we are committed to keep enlightened in our souls, minds and hearts.” Kamal Jumblat is an enrichment to knowledge since he sought the sources of illumination from ancient, modern, eastern, and western cultures; where the unity is embodied in the diversity, and the Reality of Existence is the one to which he devoted his life.
