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 .......................................................................................................

5 Potential Environmental & Social Impacts
Public Disclosure Authorized REPUBLIC OF LEBANON COUNCIL FOR DEVELOPMENT AND RECONSTRUCTION Public Disclosure Authorized ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN LEBANON ROADS AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECT LOT 5 - PACKAGE 1 - BATROUN CAZA Final March 2020 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized in association with EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The Government of Lebanon (GOL) has solicited and obtained World Bank (WB) financing for the Roads and Employment Project (REP). The Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) is acting as the executing agency on behalf of the GOL and its Council of Ministers (COM). The REP involves rehabilitation activities that are confined within the alignments of existing roads with no road widening, no involuntary resettlement, and no land acquisition. As such, the WB classified the REP as a category B project that require the preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for its sub-components. Accordingly, a series of ESMPs were stipulated to be prepared for these roads and put together by CDR in packages for bidding purposes. In this context, CDR awarded the contract number 20379 to TEAM International, hereinafter referred to as the Consultant, to prepare the assessment, design and ESMPs for roads in the districts of Batroun, Bcharre, Koura, Tripoli, Baalbeck, and Hermel. This ESMP is concerned with roads within the Batroun district. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The REP consists of the rehabilitation, maintenance, and minor construction. Activities to be performed during the project vary between one road and the other, depending on the road rating in terms of the condition of the pavement, shoulders, potential flooding and drainage, potential landslide/soil erosion and retaining walls, and/or pedestrian walkways.

Dr. Tabar read several drafts and offered incisive comments that helped refine various sections of this thesis. I thank him for his generosity and for the numerous discussions that contributed to fostering my intellectual development throughout this journey. I also wish to extend my thanks to committee member Dr. Connie Christiansen, for her valuable remarks on parts of this thesis. My deep thanks also go to Sally Yousef for her assistance in transcribing most of the interviews conducted for this study, and to Wassim Abou Lteif and Makram Rabah, for facilitating the route to conducting some of the interviews used in this study. vi Migration and political elite formation: The case of Lebanon Wahib Maalouf ABSTRACT Migration has been impacting political elite formation in Lebanon since the 1930s, yet its role in that matter remained understudied. The main reason behind this is the relative prevalence in elite studies of “methodological nationalism”, which, in one of its variants, “confines the study of social processes to the political and geographic boundaries of a particular nation-state”.

The Progressive Socialist Party of Lebanon: a Study of Its Origins, Organization, and Leadership
THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST PARTY OF LEBANON: A STUDY OF ITS ORIGINS, ORGANIZATION, AND LEADERSHIP By MONHEM NAIM NASSEREDDINE v I Bachelor of Science Oklahoma. State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1964 Submitted to the faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma. State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ·ARTS May, 1967 THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST PARTY OF LEBANON: A STUDY OF ITS ORIGINS, ORGANIZATION, AND LEADERSHIP Thesis Approved: ;zj_~~,,;~· Thesis Adviser ~ -<· (k!,,7 ii O!{lAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY JAN 16 1968 PREFACE For some time now, the Arab world has been the center of atten- tion of many academic studies. Lebanon, as an Arab state, has received its share of such studies, especially since the 1958 revolt, which brought American intervention to Lebanono This crisis alone produced more material· on Lebanese politics than the whole of the preceding fifteen years. Unfortunately, however, most of the work on Lebanese politics has been somewhat general. There has been little work done on the political party system of· Lebanon or on individual parties. This study is concerned with a particular party, the Progressive Social- :trtt,': Party, and its origins, leadership, organization and relative position in the Lebanese politic~l areha, The selection of the Progressive Socialist Party was not an arbitrary one: it was the only possible choice. Three conditions governed the choice of a party from among the many in Lebanon. First, the author wanted to study a party whose leaders, members, and sup- porters are Lebanese; second, it was desired that the party have the characteristics of a mass party; and third, the party should place ideology above religious or feudalistic affiliation.
