Lebanon's shift from sectarianism to statehood
The article highlights the deterioration of the sectarian system in Lebanon, where political sectarianism has shifted from being a means of dividing representation and managing diversity to becoming a ruling structure that obstructs state sovereignty and weakens its institutions. It points out that the current crisis, which includes a severe economic collapse and a decline in both internal and external confidence, is not merely a traditional governance crisis but a comprehensive state system crisis, resulting from the failure of the sectarian model to produce unified and effective decision-making. The article emphasizes the importance of re-establishing the state based on citizenship, the rule of law, and efficiency, along with radical reforms to restructure authority, overhaul the economic model, and restore international trust.
