This volume examines Lebanon's post-2011 security dilemmas and the
tenuous civil-military relations. The Syrian civil war has strained
the Lebanese Armed Forces' (LAF) cohesion and threatens its
neutrality - its most valued assets in a divided society. The
spill-over from the Syrian civil war and Hezbollah's military
engagement has magnified the security challenges facing the Army,
making it a target. Massive foreign grants have sought to
strengthen its military capability, stabilize the country and
contain the Syria crisis. However, as this volume demonstrates, the
real weakness of the LAF is not its lack of sophisticated armoury,
but the fragile civil-military relations that compromise its
fighting power, cripple its neutrality and expose it to accusations
of partisanship and political bias. This testifies to both the
importance of and the challenges facing multi-confessional armies
in deeply divided countries.
