Lebanon has been for a long time absent from the realm of political discourse either by politicians or researchers and even the media; interest in Lebanon arises only when a security event occurs on its territory or in the context of tackling the Hezbollah problem.

 This omission is unfortunate, as Lebanon, which is not an isolated island from regional unrest, contributes for better or for worse to its unfolding. Hence, we cannot approach the prevailing situation in Lebanon without bearing in mind the changing dynamics in the region.
