  • Road Traffic in Lebanon: a Structural Problem That Needs Immediate
    BLOMINVEST Road Traffic in Lebanon: A Structural Problem that Needs BANK Immediate Intervention August 10, 2017 Contact Information Senior Economist: Mirna Chami [email protected] Head of Research: Marwan Mikhael [email protected] Research Department Tel: +961 1 991 784 While seasonal bottlenecks are common in the world, Lebanon suffers from a chronic traffic problem that dates back to the 1990s, when the 15-Year Lebanese civil war finally ended. Since then, the situation has aggravated due to the deteriorating condition of the road network, the absence of a reliable public transportation system, and recently the influx of more than one million officially registered Syrian refugees escaping the war in their home country. Economically speaking, the development of any nation remains extremely challenging and hard to achieve in the presence of a poor infrastructure and a frail road network. In fact, the cost of road congestion is estimated at $2 billion/year (near 4% of GDP). Hence, the lack of road development and maintenance in Lebanon has definitely restrained investment and economic growth, deteriorated road safety and stretched travel times between regions. In reality, Lebanon ranked 124th in terms of quality of roads amongst 138 countries, according to the 2016-17 Competitiveness Index of the World Economic Forum. According to the World Bank’s “Roads and Employment Project” (2017), the total Lebanese road network constitutes of 21,705 km of roads. Furthermore, the World Bank estimates that the Lebanese main road network “consists of about 6,380 km of mostly paved roads classified as: (a) International Roads (529 km), (b) Primary Roads (1,673 km), (c) Secondary Roads (1,367 km), and (d) Internal Roads (2,811 km)”.

In fact, during 2013, about 9.6 billion tons of goods were loaded in ports worldwide. Specifically, tanker trade (crude oil, petroleum products, and gas) accounted for almost one-third of the total while dry cargo (goods that are not liquid like metals, coal, and grain) was responsible for most of the remaining share. Dry cargo shipments witnessed a strong 5.8% growth during 2013, driven mainly by the rapid expansion in dry bulk volumes. In particular, the rising Asian demand for iron ore and coal resulted in an expansion of major dry bulk shipments by 7.2% in 2012 and 4.8% in 2013. China, a significant contributor to the growth of world seaborne trade in recent years, continues to record impressive import volumes of dry bulk. As for containerized trade, it continued to witness modest growth with volumes increasing by 2.4% in 2013.

    I jn HISTORY AND IDEOLOGY IN EXODUS AND OTHER NOVELS M. Muneer S. Asbahi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OE PHILOSOPHY August 1973 BOWUNG GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Il ABSTRACT Nine American popular novels that use the Arab-Zionist conflict as a setting were examined in this study with the purpose of determining how objective is the image of the conflict they present. The examination focused on the historical details and the ideological arguments contained in these novels. In order to determine the authenticity of the historical details, they were contrasted with non-fictional historical accounts written by Western, Arab, and Israeli authors. On the other hand, the arguments advanced explicitly or implicitly in the novels were examined to determine the soundness of their historical bases, their logical consistency, their universal applicability, and their fairness in representing the views of the conflicting parties. The study showed that the novels present oversimplified, biased versions of the history of the various developments of the conflict. Due to the omission of certain historical details and the use of others that are highly questionable or definitely inaccurate;; the "history" offered in these novels is unfair to the Arabs. While there is hardly any attempt in the studied novels to represent the Arab point of view, there is an extensive, often zealous, presentation of the Zionist argument. The various arguments advanced to justify the Zionist position, however, are based on the novels’ biased "history" and are characterized by lack of profundity, self-contradiction, and poor logic.
