Articles AR Political Economy History Politics 2022 SifR

المبادئ الاقتصادية والاجتماعية في الدستور اللبناني

The Economic and Social Principles in the Lebanese Constitution

SifR

The Lebanese constitution was neoliberal before the word existed — we beat Pinochet by decades.

Articles AR Politics 2013 As-Safir

من يحاسِب؟ ومن يحاسِب مَن؟

Who Holds Accountable? And Who Holds Whom Accountable?

As-Safir

The issue is not merely the overthrow of the ruler, but preventing immunity, exile, and assassination from swallowing the revolutions' first achievement: the right to accountability.

Articles EN Political Economy Politics 2012 Heinrich Boll Stiftung

No Freedom Without Equality

Heinrich Boll Stiftung

There is no genuine freedom without social equality; separating political liberty from economic justice empties it of its content and renders it an illusion.

Articles AR History 2011 As-Safir

روايات افتراضية وشعب حقيقي

Virtual Narratives and a Real People

As-Safir

Resistance means inviting every external party to control the people — and this real people has nothing left to lose but its chains.

Articles AR History Politics 2011 As-Safir

القاهرة ٩ اكتوبر: الحدث ليبقى حدثا

Cairo, October 9: Lest the Event Be Forgotten

As-Safir

A presenter "lost his nerve," soldiers "lost their nerves" — losing your nerve in a way that kills is a crime. The military council is the suspect saying: catch me.

Articles AR Politics 2010 As-Safir

حكمت المحكمة !

The Tribunal Has Ruled!

As-Safir

In the era of the "Special" Tribunal for Lebanon—which court rules on "general" matters: water, electricity, bread, and work?

Articles AR Politics International Relations 2010 As-Safir

الفيلم البوليسي الطويل: سيناريو جديد

The Long Detective Film: A New Scenario

As-Safir

Nasrallah's conference revealed the bias of the international investigation, which focused for five years on a single suspect, ignoring Israel's track record of assassinations, while presenting an alternative scenario.

Articles AR History Politics 2010 As-Safir

لبنان بدون فلسطينيين!

Lebanon Without Palestinians!

As-Safir

Lebanon without Palestinians — all deported, victory over "tawteen" declared. Peace talks opened before the "resistance to tawteen" as gas gushes across the maritime border.

Articles AR Politics 2010 As-Safir

فيلم بوليسي افتراضي طويل!

A Long Virtual Detective Film!

As-Safir

A long virtual detective film—the first investigator sought motives before the murder weapon, and the accusatory narrative pivots with every shift in alliances.

Articles AR Politics International Relations 2010 As-Safir

الحقوق الفلسطينية وتبييض الافلاسات!

Palestinian Rights and Whitewashing Bankruptcies!

As-Safir

The Christian political alignment against Palestinian rights in Lebanon is based on fears of naturalization, stolen livelihoods, and sectarian demographic flooding, which are tools to whitewash political and intellectual bankruptcies and reveal the repressed solution of displacement.

Articles AR Politics International Relations 2009 As-Safir

حرّية ميشال كيلو – والعلاقات السورية-اللبنانية

The Freedom of Michel Kilo - And Syrian-Lebanese Relations

As-Safir

Michel Kilo refused to apologize and served three full years for the Beirut-Damascus Declaration. No one has a claim on him—and the Declaration is a starting point for what's overdue.

Papers EN Political Economy Politics 2008

Do Collective Rights Contribute to Conflict Resolution? The case of Lebanon

Politicized sects are enlarged patronage networks shielding members from the market and covering predation—and the solution lies in the existing constitution: a Senate for sects, a non-sectarian House for citizens, plus social justice.

Papers EN International Relations Politics 1995 The Washington Papers

Arab Democracy and New Geo-Strategic Realities

The Washington Papers

Has the West tried to impose democracy on us?—No. It exported modernization, not democracy, and always backed authoritarianism. The 1949 Zaim coup was about oil and Israel, not the Cold War.

Book Reviews EN Politics 1993

Cruelty and silence in perspective – on Kanan Makiya’s book

Makiya cuts quotes to prove a uniquely Arab "cruelty"—while he himself worked for Saddam's regime: "somebody had to do it."

Talks & Panels EN Politics 1990 SOAS

Democracy and Arab Nationalism – SOAS

SOAS

Arab nationalism is not the antithesis of democracy—and "defenders of authenticity" import everything Western except what is progressive. The Iraqi people were punished thrice: by war, betrayal, and blockade.
