Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to understanding the trajectory that Lebanon has been on since as early as the Ottoman period. With the chapter providing a process tracing of Lebanon’s history and experience with a state system, political and religious leaders, a difficult neighborhood, poverty and class struggles, violence and conflict, and state rebuilding processes, the chapter offers a new and alternative explanation of the vicious cycle of state de-legitimization that Lebanon seems to be on. This alternative is based on the assessment of the role of performance legitimacy, a role that has been more valuable than religion and external interferences and a role that the leaders have happily taken on to earn power and stoke religious fear and religion-based violence.
