Opis

Global Security Watch Lebanon is the first volume to consider all factors political, economic, religious, and actions by its neighbors that have contributed to Lebanon's violent past and that shape its current security status.In Global Security Watch Lebanon, author David Sorenson explores Lebanon's arcane almost dysfunctional political structure and economic system, as well as the complex religious makeup of a country that is home to Christians, Jews, and Arabs with no majority faith. Sorenson also looks at how the nation has often served as a focal point of diplomatic and military conflict for other nations, including Syria, Iran, and Israel, as well as how ill-informed American policies toward Lebanon have ultimately harmed American strategic interests in the Middle East."
