Research Projects

Parliamentary elections in post-war Lebanon

The study examines the electoral process since the end of the war (the parliamentary elections in 1992, 1996 and 2000) in comparison with parliamentary elections in pre-war Lebanon, and in comparison with elections in other developing countries.  The central question is this: what functions are elections performing in the political system that emerged since 1990, and how does this compare with the functions of elections in democratic and authoritarian regimes? El Khazen, F.

Political parties and democratic change in post-war Lebanon

This is a study that explores the linkages between political parties and the political process in post-war Lebanon.  The factors that led to the transformation from militias in the war period to political parties since the end of the war in 1990 will be explored. The study includes case studies of five political parties. El Khazen, F.
