The Arab uprisings have put Lebanon under increased strain. While
the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt caused limited reverberations,
the war in Syria echoed in the fine-tuned political and
confessional balance of Lebanon. Over one million refugees, equal
to one-quarter of Lebanon's population, have moved in from Syria.
The country's economy and its already weak public infrastructure
have been impacted heavily. Hizbullah's engagement in Syria has
posed questions about Lebanon's disassociation policy. Terrorist
attacks by ISIL and the growing risk of radicalization across the
confessional spectrum have left the country at unease. However,
Lebanon's political elites have vowed to shield the country from
regional turbulences. Lebanon recently saw a series of
demonstrations because of the inability of the government to manage
the garbage crisis, but it has been far from witnessing a
large-scale citizen uprising similar to the 2005 Cedar Revolution
or the revolts next door. This book provides a comprehensive
overview of the current situation in Lebanon, and a detailed
assessment of the difficulties which the country is currently
facing.
