In or Out of the SWANA Region? Intermittent Transregionalism and Turkey’s ‘Adhocratic Governance’ Practices in Lebanon
This article investigates Turkey’s strategic positioning within the Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) region by introducing the concept of ‘intermittent transregionalism’ through a case study of Turkish–Lebanese relations. While existing literature predominantly frames Turkey’s role as a neo-Ottoman leadership or regional Islamic influence, this study challenges the notion of a stable and coherent regional identity that could lead to fixe…
Mediterranean in Dis/order
Mediterranean in Dis/order reveals the connection between space and politics by examining the role that space has played in insurgencies, conflicts, uprisings, and mobilities in the Mediterranean region. With this approach, the authors are able to challenge well-established beliefs about the power structure of the state across different disciplines (including political science, history, sociology, geography, and anthropology), and its impact on t…
Navigating the Covid-19 Pandemic in Consociational Systems
Pizzorno’s distinction between ‘manifest’ and ‘hidden’ politics helps to explain the resilience of the consociational systems of Lebanon and Iraq in times of crises. Through the lens of ‘manifest’ politics, the Lebanese and Iraqi political systems are permanently on the brink of collapse. By contrast, through the lens of ‘hidden’ politics, the Lebanese and Iraqi political systems manifest their organised resilience. This comparative analysis of t…

Stretching the margins
While assuming, as a starting point, that communities in Lebanon are ‘spaces’ where various techniques of domination and control are reproduced to prevent their members from questioning the religious, identitarian or political hegemony, in this paper we argue that the Maronite community’s resizing process has created in-between border spaces within this community, where new discourses aimed at questioning this system of control arise. To justify …
Speaking Secular, Acting Sectarian. Lebanese Women’s Rights beyond the Constitution
The aim of this paper is to show that, despite the constitutional provisions that sanction the equality of all Lebanese, women’s rights in Lebanon are subject to different (social, religious and political) constraints. In a system characterised by a complex and often perverse interweaving of state norms, religious tribunal norms, society structure and politics, women’s rights have received little to no attention or protection. This is the result,…
Le relazioni tra Siria e Libano nel sistema geopolitico vicino-orientale prima e dopo le rivolte arabe
The relationships between Syria and Lebanon have been historically marked by a deep asymmetry. From the French Mandate, regional and international events have shaped the life of the two countries of the Mashreq, underlining the steady presence of Syria over Lebanese affairs. Pushed by the need of accreditation as a regional power, Syria has elaborated, over the years, a clear and precise strategy towards Lebanon, by using the Pan-Arab narrative b…
Lebanon Facing The Arab Uprisings

The Arab uprisings have not affected Lebanon directly. In the first months of 2011 Lebanon faced a new political crisis apparently separate from what was happening in the rest of the region. After
Islamist Actors from an Anti-system Perspective
The case of Hizbullah offers an important opportunity to examine Islamist actors. Created during the 1980s as a religious-oriented movement with a clear Islamic agenda, it gradually shifted towards a more pragmatic position, entering Lebanese political life in 1992. In its early days Hizbullah adopted a clear anti-system posture and strongly criticised the consociational Lebanese system and the international order. By comparing three key moments …
Introduction. Lebanon Facing the Arab Uprisings. A Lost Opportunity
Re-defining the Balance of Power in Lebanon
The paper analyzes the transformations occurred in the two most active and relevant communities in Lebanon after the end of the civil war, namely the Sunni and the Shiites, in the light of Arab uprisings and of the changes in the regional balance of power. If the meta-narrative of the ‘sectarianization’ of the Middle East, especially after 2011, has powered the interpretation of the regional events as marked by the struggle between Sunni and Shii…
An Enduring ‘Touristic Miracle’ in Tunisia? Coping with Old Challenges after the Revolution
By the end of the 1960s Tunisia had developed a very aggressive tourism policy designed to encourage foreign private investment in the sector. In fact tourism became one of the flagships of Tunisian development, strongly contributing to re-invent the international reputation of Tunisia as an open, ‘democratic and liberal’ country. Even if the political scenario has changed after the ‘Jasmine revolution’, continuity seems to prevail in the tourism…
