In Reproducing Sectarianism, Paul W. T. Kingston examines rights-oriented advocacy networks within Lebanon's postwar civil society, focusing on movements and political campaigns based on gender relations, the environment, and disability. Set within Lebanon's postwar sectarian democracy, whose factionalizing dynamics have long penetrated the country's civil society, Kingston's fascinating study provides an in-depth analysis of the successes and challenges that ensued in promoting rights-oriented social policies. Drawing on extensive field research, including interviews and a wealth of primary documents, Kingston has produced a groundbreaking work that will be of interest to Middle East experts and nonexperts alike. 606 $aPolitical participation$zLebanon 606 $aNon-governmental organizations$zLebanon 606 $aPressure groups$zLebanon 615 0$aPolitical participation 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations 615 0$aPressure groups 676 $a322.4095692 700 $aKingston$b Paul W.
