Sommario/riassunto

Written in a clear and systematic manner, this highly topical read fills a conspicuous gap in existing academic literature on the contemporary political environment and society in Lebanon. Divided into two parts, Part One examines the pre-civil war system, the circumstances of its formation, its unique characteristics, its weaknesses and dynamics and Part Two analyses how circumstances resulting from the civil war combined with essential pre-war elements to define the contemporary political processes in Lebanon.
