The Dilemma of Human Rights In Lebanese Electoral Laws by Elie Al-Hindy
This study concludes with a number of recommendations with respect to the issues that need to be introduced to the debate and that can strengthen advocacy efforts by the different stakeholders involved. Reflecting on all of the above, and in light of the current political realities in Lebanon, including present sectarian demographics and political structure, the study concludes that the standards imposed on the new electoral law is impossible to meet, as no law, which this study has reviewed...

While women’s issues and rights have been at the forefront of public and civil society debate, academic, and activist publications, women’s inequalities and the discrimination women face in Lebanon have been notably undermined, whether as citizens, refugees, or migrants. However, if the publicising of the “issue of women in Lebanon” has prompted the production of more “gender-related” information and knowledge, it has oftentimes adopted the rhetoric of denunciation and victimisation. Hence, there is a scarcity of in-depth and sectoral studies on the logics of exclusion and discrimination in...

Employment and Entitlement in the GCC: A World-Systems Analysis of Disrupted Development by Michael Coulom
Much has been written about the ingenuity of the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, from their physical and economic growth since the 1970s, to their political weathering of the Arab Uprisings that began in 2011, and to their ever-increasing political power in the Arab World. Conversely, human rights groups have criticized the GCC for human rights abuses, particularly in regard to migrant workers and enforcing international labor laws. Development in the...

India’s Iran Policy: Between US Primacy and Regionalism
India shifted to the side of US primacy in 2004, but since then its foreign policy has shifted once more to the middle. Sitting with a senior Indian diplomat, I mentioned that India seemed to be caught between two stools, US primacy and regionalism. “That’s an apt image,” he said, “except we have not fallen between the stools.” Things are more fraught now, and less clear. Talk of the peace pipeline and of linkages with Iran returned to the agenda after 2004. As US power enters a period of decline as a result...

Arab States and UN Human Rights Mechanisms by Fateh Azzam
The revolts that have rocked the Arab region in 2011 have focused on demands for dignity, social and economic justice, and political freedoms. As the protests unfolded and spread from one country to another, their chants gained remarkable consistency in their rejection of unaccountable leadership and exclusionary economic and development policies that had failed for decades. The revolts were a wake-up call to all those concerned with politics and development in the region, that development can no longer be...

The Efficiency of Food Labeling as a Rural Development Policy: The Case of Olive Oil in Lebanon by Jad Chaaban
Several regional products have been very successful as region-based products, such as Saudi Dates, Jordanian Thyme, Syrian Barazi, Egyptian Foul Mdamas, and Lebanese Chick Pea paste (Homos Tahini).
