This issue of Tatimma focuses on the question of civil rights and liberties in Lebanon. Whilst it is usually considered that civil freedoms in Lebanon are light-years ahead of other Arab countries.

Although Lebanon is sometimes considered as the only democratic country in the Arab region with a free political environment and electoral system, the situation of women has not been strengthened enough for them to have a role on an equal footing with men. Lebanese women form a majority of 53% and they are actively participating in all aspects of Lebanese society. They enjoy equal constitutional rights with men and have the right to vote, hold public office, elect and be elected in municipal councils. Yet, this diagnosis, elaborated by the Committee for the Follow-Up on Women’s Issues (CFUWI)...

LET THE KIDS DO IT A lot has been said and printed about the role that is expected to be performed by YOUTH in the governance process, and here I am thinking generally of University undergraduates.  However, I do not recall reading any serious and studied proposals on the subject. It is as though, some of our esteemed dinosaur leaders consider the idea so “farfetched “that, for them, it is not really worth considering. They ask: “Do you seriously think that “kids” can tell us what to do or not do? The answers would be: First, these “kids”, as you call them, can come up with some fresh ideas...

Working Paper | April 2015
Social Justice and the Arab Uprisings by Amaney A. Jamal and Michael Robbins
As the Arab Spring proceeded, massive changes swept across the region. Long-standing stability gave rise to ongoing chaos in some countries, most notably Syria and Libya, but also to a significant extent in Tunisia and Egypt.

The importance of these changes cannot be overstated. Yet, amidst talk of a...

ما الحرية؟ كيف يتم تعريفها في أصولها الفلسفية وكيف نفهمها في ظل الواقع المأساوي التي تعيشه بلادنا؟ هذا هو السؤال الأساسي الذي يحاول هذا الكتيب الإجابة عنه من خلال استعراض مفهوم الكلمة في الفلسفة والسياسة والدين، ومقابلتها من ثمّ مع الواقع السوري. يطرح الباحث في هذا الكتاب عددا من الأسئلة الكبيرة حول الحرية، ثم يقودنا في رحلة بين المقولات النظرية والمعطيات الواقعية، ليس لوضع إجابات على الأسئلة وإنما “لفتح طاقات المعنى والكلام الحر.. في الحرية”. الحرية، تأليف: ماهر مسعود.
