It is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. LAU has two campuses, in Beirut and Byblos. LAU offers programs leading to Associate's,Bachelor's, and Master's degrees in engineering, arts, and sciences in addition to Doctorates in Pharmacy and in Medicine. History The Lebanese American University¶s early days in 1835 find a reminder in an en-graved stone in Beirut¶s city center: ³Site of the first edifice built as a school for girls in the Turkish Empire.´ The engraving refers to the American School for Girls, established in Beirut by American Presbyterian Missionaries. In 1924, the high school added a two-year junior college program. Three years later, the College was separated as the American Junior College for Women, and moved from downtown to Ras Beirut. In 1933, it relocated once again to its present location in Koreitem, West Beirut.[2] The founding institution was a force for the education of women in Lebanon and the Middle East long before most of the world recognized the need and moral obligation to educate women in a collegiate setting. In 1948-1949, the College expanded into a four-year, university-level institution, and changed its name to the Beirut College for Women. In 1955, the College was chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York and in 1970 the Bachelor¶s degree was recognized by the Lebanese government as equivalent to the License. In 1974, fifty years after its founding, the College became co-educational and was renamed Beirut University College. Adding to the college¶s constantly evolving programs, in 1985, the Board of Regents amended the charter to include two branches. In 1987, based on the amended charter, BUC opened its northern branch on the outskirts of the historical port of Byblos in rented buildings in Amsheet. In October 1991 classes started in the newly built campus at Blat overlooking Byblos. It was officially inaugu-rated on July 16, 1992 On January 24, 1987, In 1991, BUC established a satellite campus in Byblos, 42 kilometres (26 mi) north of Beirut. In 1994, the college changed its name to Lebanese American University. As of 2007, over 6,400 students were enrolled in the five schools of the University: the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, the School of Engineering and Architecture, the School of Medicine, and the School of Pharmacy. In 2009, businessman, philanthropist and LAU board member Gilbert R. Chagoury and his wife, Rose-Marie, provided a donation of $10 million to fund the medical school and $3.5 million for the construction of the Alice Ramez Chagoury School of Nursing. Campuses The Lebanese American University has two campuses within Lebanon, one in Beirut and another in Byblos. The Beirut campus remains the largest University campus. It has been expanded over the past five years, with a new Business School and the new Riyad Nassar Library. The campus has maintained its ancient and historic look, but has been fully equipped to meet the requirements and needs of the students. It hosts the new School of Business, the School of Arts and Sciences, and many academic programs. Byblos Campus 2004 The Byblos campus is home of the five professional schools at LAU: the School of Engineering, the School of Architecture and Design, the School of Pharmacy, the Gilbert and Rose-Marie Chagoury School of Medicine, and the Alice Ramez Chagoury School of Nursing. The Byblos campus also has houses to the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Business. It is currently being expanded with a he Frem Civic Center, and plans for a new library. Accreditation Since 1949, LAU and its predecessors have operated under a charter from the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York. (USNY is a purely administrative body which among other functions accredits colleges and universities in the state.) On September 21, 2007, the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) granted candidacy status to the Lebanese American University. According to President Joseph G. Jabbra, he said he felt "very strongly" that LAU would receive full accreditation in 2009. In 2010 the Lebanese American University received full NEASC accreditation as per a letter sent to President Jabbra. LAU's five-year Bachelor in Architecture program is accredited by the French government, which allows the graduates to practice in France and the European Union. The School of Pharmacy is a full member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). Currently, the Doctor of Pharmacy program at LAU is the only one outside the United States of America that is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE). The initial accreditation review took place in 2002, when full accreditation was granted. Hence, Pharm.D. graduates are eligible for licensure as pharmacists in most US states and provinces. The School of Engineering and Architecture plans to submit its engineering programs for future professional accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology in the U.S. in January 2010 once LAU attains full NEASC accreditation. In the academic year 2006- 2007, the school started laying out the groundwork for a self-study required by ABET. In addition, the school plans to seek European accreditation for its engineering programs to expand the recognition of our degrees to a global level. LAU and Harvard Medical International (HMI), the medical-consulting arm of Harvard Medical School (HMS), have signed an innovative 10-year collaboration agreement that will significantly reinforce LAUMS' standing. LAU will also partner with Clemenceau Medical Center (CMS), an affiliate of Johns Hopkins International, and Rafik Hariri University Hospital in addition to Rizk Hospital which was renamed to LAU Medical Center - Rizk Hospital after being bought by the university for the clinical element of the program.

Foremost, I thank my supervisor Meg Stalcup for her continuous support, guidance, and encouragement through the countless deadlines and panic-driven days, even weeks. I thank my committee members, Vincent Mirza and Thushara Hewage, for their advice, support, and interest in my work. I also thank my cohort for their support and encouragement throughout the storms. Without the sacrifices and support of my parents, Kamal and Maya, none of this would have been possible. I offer my thanks and love to them, whom I’ve deeply missed over the course of the last few years. And of course, I send love to my brothers, Jamil and Sammy. I thank my friends – William, Ely, Omar, and Zein - for the endless support, the painful laughs, and good company. The heavenly home cooked food definitely did help in those gloomy days. I love these people. I thank Kareem for his constant support and insight. I thank the amazing people that I have had the honor to meet because of this work.

  • Steht Später Die Headline
    LÄNDERBERICHT Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung e.V. LIBANON DR. MALTE GAIER 10. Mai 2018 Nach den Parlamentswahlen: Balance der Macht bleibt erhalten www.kas.de/libanon LIBANONS POLITISCHER KONFESSIONALISMUS ÜBERDAUERT AUCH DIESE WAHLEN – DENNOCH MÜSSEN POLITIK, STAAT UND GESELLSCHAFT UMDENKEN Zum ersten Mal seit neun Jahren hat der Libanon am 6. Mai 2018 über ein neues Parla- ment abgestimmt. Nach dreifacher Verlängerung der Amtszeit des Kabinetts hatten rund 3,7 Mio. Wähler, davon über 21% Erstwähler, zum ersten Mal seit langem wieder die Chance, aktiv die Politik ihres Landes mitzugestalten. Doch nach monatelangem Wahlkampf und großen Hoffnungen auf Veränderungen an den politischen Verhältnis- sen im Land hat sich im Libanon auch dieses Mal am Ende wieder nur der Status Quo mit seiner fein austarierten Machtbalance zwischen den verschiedenen Lagern bestätigt. Dennoch haben die Wahlen viele Einblicke in einen langsam voranschreitenden, lang- fristigen Wandlungsprozess erlaubt. Hintergrund Nachdem die Amtszeit des libanesischen Präsidenten Michel Sleiman im Mai 2014 ausgelau- fen war, konnte sich das Parlament erst nach 45 Wahlgängen auf einen Nachfolger einigen. Bis im Oktober 2016 General Michel Aoun zum zwölften Präsidenten des Libanons ernannt wurde, blieb die Stelle vakant. Auch die politische Legitimierung des Parlaments war bereits 2013 abgelaufen, die politischen Fraktionen waren aufgrund von möglichen Änderungen im Wahlrecht jedoch gespalten. Zudem begründete auch die angespannte Sicherheitslage durch den Krieg in Syrien eine vorläufige Aussetzung der Parlamentswahlen, woraufhin das Parlament sein Mandat eigenständig zweimal bis zum Juni 2017 verlängerte. Diese Ent- scheidung wurde vom obersten Verfassungsrat zwar als verfassungswidrig, aber aufgrund der „außergewöhnlichen Umstände“ als angemessen bewertet. Nach der Ernennung General Michel Aouns zum Präsidenten wurden die Wahlen erneut um ein Jahr verschoben, um die seit 2005 angestoßenen Reformen des Wahlgesetzes abzuschließen, welches im Juni 2017 verabschiedet wurde.

Her research focuses on parliamentary representation, namely electoral behavior and electoral reform. She has also previously contributed to LCPS’s work on international donors conferences and reform programs. She holds a degree in Politics and Quantitative Methods from the University of Edinburgh. Executive Summary The representation of women in Lebanese politics has always been disproportionately low. Not only is the historical framework of power in Lebanon patriarchal in nature, but the country’s political families are all led by men as well. Under the majoritarian systems that have dominated parliamentary and municipal elections since the end of the civil war, electoral results have always sidelined women.

Dynamiques dynastiques au Liban : transmettre le pouvoir politique en famille par Ward Vloeberghs Le Liban offre un cadre exceptionnellement riche à l’analyse du phénomène dynastique en politique. On y trouve non seulement des dynasties « jeunes », dont les deux ou trois dernières générations seulement ont occupé des postes de pouvoir au niveau national, mais aussi un nombre remarquable de familles établies depuis le XVIIIe siècle au moins, et qui se sont transmis le pouvoir sur quatre, cinq, voire six générations. Ces dynasties politiques prospèrent par ailleurs dans le cadre d’une démocratie consociative. Contrairement à d’autres pays de la région, le Liban ne connaît pas de régime autoritaire auquel la « dérive dynastique »1 servirait de mécanisme de survie.
