Abstract

This book provides an intimate picture of Lebanon, exploring the impacts of the Arab uprisings of 2011 which are deeply aff ecting Lebanese politics and society. The book examines Lebanon’s current issues and its deep sectarian divisions, as well as the ways in which it still seems able to fi nd some adaptation paths to face the many challenges left by its regional sectarian and political polarization. Authors delve into border regions, Syrian refugees, the welfare state, the Lebanese Army, popular mobilisations in 2011 and the two main communities, the Sunnis and the Shia. Built on various fi eldwork researches, the volume explores each of the topics through the lenses of identifi cation building processes, the re-ordering of social and/or political relations, and the nationhood symbols and meanings.
