"modernization of political life in Lebanon"

Mr. Hazem Saghieh observes the political landscape in Lebanon and finds a poster child of modern globalization:

“We come across micro-identities with their own cultures, their own press and visual media, in a manner that would not have been possible in previous decades “

Mr. Saghieh also concludes that Hezbollah is in a “dead-end” mission to restore the old system of identity politics.
