Publisher Description: 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. |
