Book Descriptions:
The recent political history of Lebanon has been defined by the legacy
of war. In addition to repeated external invasions and the ongoing
presence of foreign troops of diverse nationalities, the Lebanese people
have endured the scars left by a bitterly contested civil war that
began in the spring of 1975 and continued unabated for the next fifteen
years. While much has been written about the tragedy of the civil war,
el-Husseini's Pax Syriana is the first book focused on the evolution of the postwar political scene.
In
a series of negotiations brokered by Saudi Arabia, under the auspices
of the larger international community, the civil war came to an end with
the signing of the Ta'if Agreement. This agreement ushered in an era of
Syrian control and rule by a disparate group of power elites.
El-Husseini provides an in-depth account of how the political elite left
an indelible mark on the Lebanese state and society. Through extensive
field work and firsthand interviews, el-Husseini offers an intimate
portrait of postwar Lebanon and shows how the Syrian influence brought a
degree of stability to this fragmented nation and yet simultaneously
undermined the development of a full constitutional democracy as Lebanon
began to acquire some of the authoritarian character of the Syrian
regime.
