Thesis and Summary Statement: Lebanon

Thesis:

The current Republic government in Lebanon shows lack of any hope for the country to up rise as a liberal democracy because of conflicts with neighboring Syria spilling into Lebanon’s government and the current fragile political institutions.

Summary:

With a horrible war going on in Syria, refugees have made their way into Lebanon. Lebanon has gotten caught in the crossfire of their conflicts. Lebanon is warned that they are rapidly being drawn in to the Syrian civil war. Leaders give no encouragement to citizens, they warn that the worst is yet to come. The problem has been made worse by Hezbollah’s military intervention in Syria, where the party’s fighters are battling alongside President Bashar Assad’s army to defeat rebel groups seeking to overthrow the regime. Because of this spillover, Lebanon has witnessed a serious escalation of sectarian and political tensions and a deterioration of the security situation. The country is looking at economic detieration because of lack of efficient security. The resignation of Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s Cabinet has thrown the political institution into a cabinet deadlock. Also, fear of terrorism has already taken place, being that there has been car bombings and a suicide attack against the Lebanese army. With that there has been a rise of Al-Qaeda-affiliated “takfiri” factions.

Overall, with a weak and unstable government and security, Lebanons control of the Syria conflict does not show efficient democracy.
