Summary

Although Lebanon is no longer at war, its long-term stability remains hostage to a myriad of political, economic and regional problems. This book serves as a comprehensive survey of developments in Lebanon following the 1990 peace accord. The authors examine the roles of Syria, Israel and the Palestinians, as well as the internal challenges facing the Lebanese in their attempts to reconstruct their polity, economy and society. They also outline areas in which the international community can, and should, play an active role in Lebanon's restabilisation. -- Amazon.com.
