| Summary: | The Lebanese Republic is characterized by its multireligious, ethnic and cultural configuration. It is a notable country for its political instability and for being a battleground for different peoples. Thus, this article aims to present the historical evolution of Lebanon, demonstrating the importance of confessionalism as a catalyst of Lebanese society, its implications for the unique system of political power; the international dimension of Lebanese domestic politics, the precarious social intertwining; the challenges conquered by UNIFIL. It also presents a perspective for the country’s near future, due to the recent reformulation of the electoral law and the constant possibility of a wide conflict in the Middle East. |
