  • Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon's Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney
    Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Teresa Caldeira, Chair Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Watts Professor Cihan Tugal Spring 2017 Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy Copyright 2017 by Julia Tierney Abstract Constructing Resilience: Real Estate Investment, Sovereign Debt and Lebanon’s Transnational Political Economy by Julia Tierney Doctoral of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning And the Designated Emphasis in Global Metropolitan Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Teresa Caldeira In urban studies scholarship, Lebanon is often theorized on the frontiers of sectarian conflict as well as on the frontlines of neoliberalism. Entangling real estate investment, sovereign debt and transnational financial circulations from Arab Gulf investors and the Lebanese diaspora, managed by the Banque du Liban and scrutinized by the United States Treasury, the Lebanese political economy was – and still is – swayed by the fortunes of war. According to literature on the political economy of violence, profits are often made in times of war, a context appropriate to the civil war and postwar eras, during which spoils of war enriched the pockets of warlords-turned-politicians. Yet as the effects of the Syrian conflict spill across the border, encumbering Lebanon’s long paralyzed politics, straining its already deteriorated infrastructure and intensifying uncertainty with punctuated bombings, certain sectors prosper not because of violence but in spite of it.
