Abstract

The delineation and comprehension of the Lebanese political map can often be an exercise in futility. On almost any given day, one can just scour the headlines of the Lebanese press and observe the presentation of Lebanese domestic politics in the context of regional/extra-regional developments or its literal interaction with external actors/states. For example, on 6 May 2010, two of the leading Lebanese dailies, As-Safir and Ad-Diyar, carried distinct front page headlines which captured this reality. The leading As-Safir headline proclaimed, “The return of Junblatt from Riyadh: Mutually confirms the importance of peace with Syria.” The leading Ad-Diyar headline stated, “Municipal Elections move forward under the auspices of a Syrian-Saudi-French understanding.“
