uncategorized facing up to foreign influence how outsiders helped create lebanon s current crisis my warontherocks article was prompted by a range of pieces since the 2019 protests in lebanon that in an admirable attempt to center lebanese agency at the heart of the country s problems actually have largely erased the overwhelming often negative role of external sides the piece is here https warontherocks com facing up to foreign i cite a number of authors writing for synapse chatham house to a recent ny times piece i would add another that needs to be examined from 2020 https theguardian com lebanon political corruption in khatib s piece we thankfully at least have visible the role of external actors including western ones but note how their roles are repeatedly minimized softened in her configuration the international community is partly responsible for sustaining this system foreign support is not the problem per se but rather when it is handed on a plate unconditionally and finally her call for the international community to abandon their tacit support of a disastrous political status quo even when she gently adds the notion that perhaps outside actors are nurturing the pathologies the prospect of any malign self interest isn t raised sure they nurture tacitly support the disastrous system for stability as she notes but the fact of foreign actors financial interests actively profiting from maximizing local power is absent in this construction france the us as but two examples have allowed a bad system to continue but only because of their higher purpose of wanting stability but this is only part of the case one which properly understood sees outside actors not just as tacitly supporting but rather actively driving and for quite a long time lebanon s cancerous system a further missing piece in all of these articles the responsibility of the lebanese people themselves there is now a renewed great debate in advance of the hoped for elections about why or if again lebanese will largely re elect their leaders who are said to be disasters this issue is critical to delve into for any robust understanding of the problems at hand finally my piece wasn t able to flesh out some policy recs in the space i was given but in regards to my call for the us europe to bring carrots sticks to bear in negotiating a mutual ceasefire over the next elections the key move here if an agreement btw the many external internal sides involved in the electoral power struggle could be reached this should be aimed for at least would be for the us and europe to focus resources on the integrity of the elections and electoral systems themselves so not on candidates and sides which are purported to be more pro western than others this would mean breaking with the decades of practice of favoring our man in beirut or specific sides and personalities a practice which has repeatedly failed in any case and focusing resources and capital on what matters in the long term strong accountable independent institutions even if this means more figures succeed who are skeptical or critical of the west or are just more nationalistic for example this approach which of course should be combined w policies addressing the root causes of conflict in the region takes flexibility and patience as well as admitting that the past approach was a failure for outside interests like the us as well as for lebanon the biden admin recently sanctioned jihad al arab incredibly the first time in the modern era that the us sanctions one of its purported allies in the country david schenker said all of them means all of them but we know he trump didn t actually mean it lets see if this is the start of a new approach i wrote about an alternative ahead of the 20
