Middle Eastern Studies Political Science Religion Lebanon religio-political identity university student perceptions of Lebanese confessionalism This paper explores how competing religio-political identities are articulated at the sub-national level and operationalized in the Lebanese public sphere. I consider the question of identity in the context of Lebanese consociationalism, as the absence of a coherent national identity has been interpreted as a primary obstacle to the adoption of a more integrative politics. In an effort to shed light on selected points of conflict between Lebanon’s sects, I offer a focused comparison of Maronite and Shi'i identity programs in historical context before considering the implications of diversity for the nature and function of power-sharing arrangements as well as for the consolidation of the nation. Finally, I discuss the results of a preliminary research project conducted with a sample of Lebanese university students. I am interested here primarily in how a “liberal” university education may or may not impact students’ articulations of religio-political identity and, ultimately, their political decision-making. 2011-08-22 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1313703729 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1313703729 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
