Exploring factors that shaped Syrian refugees integration into Lebanon’s national health system using Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework
This study highlights the role of global actors, such as UNHCR, WHO among others, as the main entrepreneurs in integrating refugees into the Lebanese health care system. It also underscored the ad-hoc non-systematic approach with which the policies around refugee health response were made in Lebanon and the influence of political factors. Although the mutual benefits to both host and refugee communities were recognized, many challenges threaten i…
Exploring Political Polarization Between Opponents and Supporters of Ruling Parties Following the 2019 Lebanese Uprising
The 17 October 2019 uprising in Lebanon marked a pivotal period of economic crisis and discontent with the ruling elite. We examined social cohesion post‐uprising by exploring political polarization between “anti‐ruling parties” citizens and “partisan/unaligned” citizens, in two surveys with a community sample (Study 1, N = 357) and a nationally representative sample (Study 2, N = 1200). Across both studies, “anti‐ruling parties” respondents exhi…
Integrating Syrian refugees into Lebanon’s healthcare system 2011–2022: A mixed-method study
Integrating refugees in national health systems is essential to achieve sustainable development goals, in particular universal health coverage. Although it can strengthen the capacity of national health systems, the integration of refugees in low-resource settings can be challenging due to existing health system arrangements (e.g., heavily privatized care, curative-oriented, high out-of-pocket, fragmentation across multiple financing sources, and…
From Victims to Dissidents: Legacies of Violence and Popular Mobilization in Iraq (2003-2018)
A growing literature links experiences of armed conflict with postwar political behavior. This paper examines how legacies of wartime violence shape dynamics of protest in twenty-first-century Iraq. We argue that experiences of shared violence against civilians generate strong social and organizational ties, as individuals turn to neighbors, friends, and communal organizations or social groups to help them cope. These strengthened social networks…
In Defense of Intra-Sectarian Divide: Street Mobilization, Coalition Formation, and Rapid Realignments of Sectarian Boundaries in Lebanon
This article examines the rapid transformations in the salience of sectarian boundaries despite seemingly deeply entrenched polarization. Lebanon provides an interesting case study where sectarian dichotomies moved relatively quickly from a predominantly “Christian–Muslim” divide to a more recent “Sunni–Shia” split within the context of tumultuous street mobilizations. While this sectarian dichotomy is resonant with the regional intra-Muslim divi…
Living Revolution, Financial Collapse and Pandemic in Beirut: Notes on Temporality, Spatiality, and “Double Liminality
This article reflects on the experience of living an exceptional year of revolution, financial collapse, pandemic (and later, explosion) in Lebanon since October 2019. Based on auto-ethnography, the article grapples with the experience of “double liminality” by juxtaposing the revolutionary moment of publicness, enthusiasm and clarity; to the pandemic moment of isolation, rumination and anxiety
Sectarianization: Mapping the new politics of the Middle East
In their recently published book Sectarianisation: Mapping the New Politics of the Middle East, editors Nader Hashemi and Danny Postel bring together a number of distinguished authors in a major co
