Download or read book The Dynamics of Conflict Resolution in Lebanon and Bosnia written by Esref-Kenan Rasidagic and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflicts in Lebanon and Bosnia and Herzegovina are often compared due to the multiethnic character of both societies and seemingly similar issues that caused the outbreak of wars. The study of the historical background of the two conflicts however, reveals deep differences in the composition of these two societies, the role that ethnicity and religion played in causing the crisis, and the role that external factors played in the internal affairs of Lebanon and Bosnia. Major theories of the ethnic conflict are examined in order to find out which one(s) could apply to these two cases. The theories of prevention of the inter-communal conflict are examined for the same purpose.--Once the crisis deteriorates into an open conflict, the external actors can intervene with the ultimate goal of either managing the conflict in order to limit its harmful interference, or, more ambitiously, resolving the conflict completely by addressing all underlying issues and attempting to comprehensively solve the outstanding problems.
Download or read book Lebanon a state trapped in conflict written by Natalie Züfle and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, grade: 1,0, Free University of Berlin (Center for Global Politics), course: Conflict Management, language: English, abstract: As the analysis of the most recent conflict in Lebanon has shown, there have been successful efforts to solve two of the three major conflict issues by means of a mediation approach. However, several spoiling factors complicate a peaceful solution, and in particular the long-term aim of creating a durable and ultimate peace in the troubled country. However, additional approaches within the peacemaking as well as peacebuilding frameworks help to stabilize the country and can set examples for a stable and promising future. The upcoming elections in June 2009 will show, if Lebanon will carry on its way towards a sustainable and peaceful future in national unity.
Download or read book Conflict and Escalation in Lebanon written by Karen A. Rasler and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the dynamics of conflict escalation by systematically testing a number of hypotheses which have filtered through much o f the theoretical literature on conflict within the context of the Lebanese Civi l War using an events data approach. In addition to the theoretical questions of escalation, a historical descriptive analysis of the civil war was provided to complement the quantitative/analytical aspects of the discussion. Hence, the obj ectives of the study were twofold: first, to fill the descriptive void of what l ittle information there is about the Lebanese Civil War and second, to test theo retical propositions about the dynamics of conflict escalation. The theoretical topics--each of which constituted a chapter in the dissertation--encompassed exp lanations which: (1) specified links between governmental repression/coercion an d political violence; (2) examined the links between internal strife and externa l intervention; and (3) identified and described crisis behavior. The more outst anding empirical results yielded the information outlined in the thesis text.

Download or read book US Foreign Policy and the Multinational Force in Lebanon written by Corrin Varady and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh perspective on the impact of the US intervention in Lebanon in 1982 and the decision-making drivers that led the Reagan Administration into the Lebanese Civil War. Based on newly released archival materials from high level Washington officials such as President Reagan, Secretary of State Shultz and Secretary of Defense Weinberger, it argues that the failure of the Reagan Administration to accurately understand the complex political landscape of the Lebanese Civil War resulted in the US-led Multinational Force becoming militarily intertwined in the conflict. This book challenges the notion that Reagan deployed US Marines under the ideals of international peacekeeping, asserting that the US Administration hoped that the Multinational Force would create the political capital that Reagan needed to strengthen the US’ position both in the Middle East and globally. Ultimately, the peacemakers were forced to withdraw as they evolved into antagonists. A case study in the foreign policy doctrines of key Washington decision-makers throughout the 1980s, this project is perfect for any International Relations scholar or interested reader seeking to understand the links between the mistakes of the Reagan Administration and contemporary US interventions in the Middle East.

Download or read book The Dynamics of Conflict in Northern Ireland written by Joseph Ruane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-11-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a uniquely comprehensive account of the conflict in Northern Ireland, providing a rigorous analysis of its dynamics and present structure and proposing a new approach to its resolution. It deals with historical process, communal relations, ideology, politics, economics and culture and with the wider British, Irish and international contexts. It reveals at once the enormous complexity of the conflict and shows how it is generated by a particular system of relationships which can be precisely and clearly described. The book proposes an emancipatory approach to the resolution of the conflict, conceived as the dismantling of this system of relationships. Although radical, this approach is already implicit in the converging understandings of the British and Irish governments of the causes of conflict. The authors argue that only much more determined pursuit of an emancipatory approach will allow an agreed political settlement to emerge.
Download or read book Negotiating Conflict in Lebanon written by Mohamad Hafeda and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on innovative research into sectarian-political struggle in Beirut, Mohamad Hafeda shows how boundaries in a divided city are much more than simple physical divisions and reveals the ways in which city dwellers both experience them and subvert them in unexpected ways. Through research based on interviews, documentation of various media representations such as maps, visual imagery and gallery installations, Negotiating Conflict in Lebanon exposes the methods through which sectarian narratives are constructed - arguing for the need to question, deconstruct and transform these constructions. Hafeda expands upon the definition of bordering practice by considering artistic research as a critical spatial practice which allows self-reflection and transformation of border positions. This study offers an alternative view to the mainstream narratives of what is meant by a border, and provides insights, methods and lessons that may be applied to other cities around the world affected by conflict and political-sectarian segregation.
