Lebanon and the Arab Uprisings

Although there has not been the equivalent in Lebanon of the uprisings seen in other Arab countries, the fragile state is under increased strain by the events in the region. Over one million refugees, equal to one quarter of Lebanon's population, have moved in from Syria, Sunni jihadists and Shi'a Hezbollah have engaged in some fighting, and both the economy and the political power sharing system are threatened. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current situation in Lebanon, and a detailed assessment of the difficulties which Lebanon is currently facing.
