Research completed and article sent for publication. R. Antoun. Local government and municipal reform in Lebanon Conducting field research and presenting policy recommendations concerning the status, problems and prospects of local government and municipalities in Lebanon.

Krayem) associate project leader. The book is due to appear summer 1997. R. Antoun. (Supported by Lebanese Center for Policy Studies.) Administrative ethics and morality in Lebanon The aim of this study is to examine ethical and moral questions in the Lebanese administration, and to assess the effect of the lack of ethics not only on administrative practices, but also on the relationship between government employees and the citizens, as well as on social and political behavior in Lebanon. Research completed and paper being written. R. Antoun. (Supported by Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches sur le Moyen-Orient Contemporain.) Environmental laws and regulations in Lebanon The research focuses on the institutions which have a role in environmental management, as well as the enforcement of environmental regulations in Lebanon. It stresses the lack of vision, the inadequacy of the legal framework and the non-enforcement of existing regulations. Research completed and article sent for publication. R. Antoun. Options for administrative reform in Lebanon The research evaluates the recent administrative reform movement in Lebanon (1993-96) with emphasis on the new techniques and mechanisms implemented. Research completed and article being written. R. Antoun. Islamism in Lebanon: a Guide The great variety of kaleidoscopic changes of Islamist groups in Lebanon leave many observers confused. To sort things out, the article presents a directory of the country’s nearly twenty movements, divided into those that are Shi’i and those that are Sunni. It then considers what the future may hold in store for them. The article is scheduled to appear in Middle East Quarterly in September 1997. N. Hamzeh. The dynamics of the Iran-Hizbullah relationship This study deals with the developments of the Iran-Hizbullah relationship and its effects on political regional security. The aim is to determine what models have governed the ideological, political, financial and military dynamics of the Iran-Hizbullah relationship. The experience of this relationship may illuminate the dynamics of other Islamic militants with Iran. The work will appear as a chapter in Lebanon and Iran, ed. Houchang Chehabi. N. Hamzeh. Non-governmental associations of Islamic groups in Beirut The aim of this study is to describe and explain the Islamic dimension of Lebanon’s non-governmental associations, particularly in Beirut. The study points clearly to the fact that Islamic civil society speaks in a myriad of voices. They, however, attempt either to create parallels for the state’s apparatus or insist on governmental accountability and thereby attempt to work within the existing Lebanese political system, i.e., the consociational democracy. The work is to be published by the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies. N. Hamzeh. Political parties: the Islamists of Lebanon The aim of this research is to answer which Islamic groups and movements can be called political parties. What roles and functions are performed by Islamic political parties? The analysis is expected to shed light not only on the Islamic parties structures and functions but on the theoretical level of a general theory of political parties as well. Research is completed. N. Hamzeh. Islamic Fundamentalism in Bahrain The aim of this research is to examine the development of Islamic fundamentalism in Bahrain and its impact on the internal and regional political situations. Research in its initial stage. N. Hamzeh. Democracy derailed: Lebanon’s Ta’if paradox Analysis of the effects of Lebanon’s socio-political norms and political institutions, and the ferocity, external dimensions and results of the civil war on the country’s short and long-term chances for democratization. A comparison of early elections with those that followed the Ta’if Accord, and an analysis of the Hariri government’s conduct and dependence on Damascus, leads to the conclusion that efforts to put the country back on the democratic track remain a dead letter. Ironically, the constitutional reforms emanating from the Ta’if Accord actually reinforce sectarian politics. The continued tug of primordial ties combined with pressures on the weak government to accommodate Syrian policy, appear to distance Lebanese citizens from democratic practice and values more than ever. This chapter will appear in Political Liberalization and Democratization in the Arab World, eds. B. Korany, R. Brynn and P. Noble, Vol. 2, 1997. J. Harik. Syrian foreign policy and state/resistance dynamics in Lebanon An analysis of the rules established by Syria to govern the behavior of the Lebanese government and the Resistance during Israel’s 1996 Grapes of Wrath operation. The implications of the outcome of these arrangements are drawn for Israel, Syria, Lebanon and Hizballah. This article will appear in Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, summer 1997. J. Harik. The return of the displaced and communal integration in postwar Lebanon Heads of households were surveyed in the Harf district of the Shuf mountains during 1994 to determine the social, psychological, political and economic factors that weighed in their decisions to permanently re-settle in their mountain homes. The roles of the state and NGOs are critically examined and policy suggestions are made for the re-settlement of those who were displaced as a result of protracted social conflict. The article is being reviewed. J. Harik. (Funded by URB.) Principles and mechanisms of political inclusion and exclusion in postwar Lebanon: 1996 parliamentary elections in the governorate of Mount Lebanon An analysis of the factors involved in the defeat of the Christian opposition’s electoral strategy and the overwhelming success of governmental candidates in the governorate where an electoral boycott was massively followed in 1992.

It draws out the actual political application of these underpinnings on the state level, as in the case of Iran and Sudan, and the regional level, as in the case of radical fundamentalist movements in Egypt, Israel and the Occupied Territories and Lebanon.
