Lebanese Hesitation Toward a Strong State
The article discusses Lebanon's history since the declaration of Greater Lebanon in 1920. It explains how the Lebanese state failed to build strong, genuinely sovereign institutions due to the sectarian balances and fears of a powerful authority, leading to weak institutions that rely on tribal leaders and external interference. It also sheds light on the various phases of the Lebanese crisis, beginning with independence, through civil wars, regional interventions, and the Beirut port explosion. The article emphasizes that an actual state remains absent, due to its subservience to external powers and its inability to enforce law and independent decision-making.
