Abstract

This book argues that Armenians around the world - in the face of the Genocide, and despite the absence of an independent nation-state after World War I - developed dynamic socio-political, cultural, ideological and ecclesiastical centres. And it focuses on one such centre, Beirut, in the postcolonial 1940s and 1950s. Tsolin Nalbantian explores Armenians' discursive re-positioning within the newly independent Lebanese nation-state; the political-cultural impact (in Lebanon as well as Syria) of the 1946-8 repatriation initiative to Soviet Armenia; the 1956 Catholicos election; and the 1957 Lebanese elections and 1958 mini-civil war. What emerges is a post-Genocide Armenian history of - principally - power, renewal and presence, rather than one of loss and absence.

Abstract

The Ituraeans, a little-known people of late first century BCE Syria/Palestine, are referred to briefly in a number of early texts, notably Pliny, Strabo and Josephus, and the principality of Ituraea is mentioned in Luke 3.1. There is, as yet, no consensus among archaeologists as to whether certain artefacts should be attributed to the Ituraeans or not. They form a mysterious backdrop to what we know of the area in the time of Jesus, which remains obstinately obscure despite the enormous amount of research in recent decades on the 'historical Jesus' and Greco-Roman Galilee. Through reference to the early texts, modern scholarship has contributed to a claim the Ituraeans were an Arab tribal group known mainly for their recurrent brigandage. Elaine Myers challenges these presuppositions and suggests a reappraisal of previous interpretations of these texts and the archaeological evidence to present a more balanced portrait of this ancient people.

Abstract

L’Orient-Express : du nom d’« un train qui se hâte lentement ». Dès sa naissance, le magazine jouait l’effronterie et la contradiction. Il affichait des ambitions assumées : « être un journal arabe en français », en renouant le lien rompu entre le Liban réel, « arabe d’identité et d’appartenance » comme le formule le texte constitutionnel, et un public francophone volontairement ou non ignorant de faits politiques, sociaux, culturels qui traversent le pays. Faire de la langue française un outil d’ouverture plutôt que d’exclusion. Faire qu’au sein du Liban, sédimenté de mémoires concurrentes et d’affrontements guerriers, un terreau commun se cultive, et que vers le reste du monde, les regards, rendus curieux, se tournent. Être « ici et ailleurs ». Créer des « transcultures » où se côtoieraient Fayruz et Patti Smith, Gilles Deleuze et Tayeb Salih, Portishead et Edward Saïd, Salman Rushdie et NTM, Allen Ginsberg et Ounsi El Hage. Cette identité multipliant les lignes, les facettes, n’empêchait nullement des prises de position continuellement réaffirmées. D’un mois à l’autre, L’Orient-Express n’a eu de cesse d’appeler de ses vœux un Liban démocratique, laïc et indépendant, dans le maintien des solidarités interarabes. La tragédie palestinienne est rappelée chaque fois que la ponctue un nouvel espoir, rare, ou un nouveau crime. C’est en priorité aux jeunes que L’Orient-Express désirait faire entendre ses appels au réveil politique, pour qu’ils se battent pour une individuation de l’espace public et leur droit au plaisir. Le premier numéro, novembre 1995 : « Quand la politique faisait rêver », saluait les révoltes estudiantines des années 1960 et 1970. Le dernier, février 1998 : « Étudiants, et maintenant que faire ? », était consacré aux manifestations étudiantes de décembre 1997. Et puis l’insolence pourtant salutaire de cette aventure journalistique a été intimée au silence. Trop de brèches ouvertes dans un après-guerre amnésique... Cette troisième édition des…

Abstract

Este trabajo tiene como objeto la historia constitucional de Líbano en el siglo XIX, y más en concreto, la historia del surgimiento de una cultura confesional propiamente libanesa. Dicho objeto parte de dos hipótesis de trabajo. Primera, que el sistema confesional que se asentó en Líbano con la promulgación en 1926 de la primera constitución escrita de la República libanesa bajo el Protectorado francés halla sus orígenes en el siglo XIX y es por consiguiente pre-estatal; la constitución del 26 constituye en este sentido el reflejo de una cultura confesional preexistente. Segunda, que esa cultura confesional debe su existencia a la interacción, a lo largo del XIX, de tres actores: en primer lugar, el Imperio otomano, del que Líbano era administrativamente dependiente; en segundo lugar, las Potencias europeas, cuya intervención en los asuntos internos del Imperio aumentaría considerablemente a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX; y en tercer lugar, los agentes sociales de Líbano, que desarrollarían diferentes modalidades de interacción para relacionarse con unos y con otros. Finalmente, la división del trabajo en dos partes, que tienen como objetos respectivos la constitución mixta y la constitución liberal, permite la identificación de finalidades y modos de funcionamiento diferentes, que invitan a descartar la existencia de una supuesta continuidad en la experiencia constitucional libanesa, que vendría informada por el supuestamente inmutable sistema de los millet otomano.

Abstract

This book is about the laissez-faire strategy for economic development, a strategy inspired by neoclassical/mainstream economics, advocated by the "Washington Consensus", and implemented by the Bretton Woods institutions. Mainstream economics has taken legitimacy from the historical failure of command economies. But this view has not been balanced by an examination of the performance of laissez-faire economies, the closest to the pure market model. Lebanon provides a unique test case in this regard. The book assesses Lebanon's development during 1948-2002, including its industrial and financial performance. The dynamics of the laissez-faire system is separately studied from a Post-Keynesian perspective, highlighting institutional behavior. It is found that laissez-faire is not a sufficient condition for economic development, and can even be counterproductive.
