Abstract

Ova rad prikazuje razvoj konfesionalne demokracije u Libanonu od potpisivanja Taifskog sporazuma pa do polovice 2022. godine. Propituju se povijesni razlozi trenutačnog državnog uređenja, te stabilnost političkog sustava Libanona. Rad počinje s tezom da Taifski sporazum nije doveo do stabilnosti političkog poretka u Libanonu ni do povjerenja građana u političke institucije Libanona. U radu su prikazani svi glavni politički akteri libanonskog društva, vanjski i unutarnji kreatori političkih zbivanja te sami sadržaj i važnost Taifskog sporazuma za Libanon. Posebnu pozornost zauzima pitanje etno-vjerskog identiteta naspram libanonskog. Kroz prikazana istraživanja Fragile State Index-a i Arapskog barometra, izvješća Svjetske banke te brojnih političkih kriza, prikazanog nepoštivanja Ustava i Taifskog sporazuma došlo se do zaključka da Taifski sporazum nije doprinio stvaranju stabilnog političkog poretka. Rad donosi nove, relevantne podatke za Libanon i krizu konfesionalne demokracije.

Abstract (english)

This paper shows the development of confessional democracy in Lebanon from the signing of the Taif Agreement until the middle of 2022. The historical reasons for the current state structure and the stability of Lebanon's political system are questioned. The paper begins with the fact that the Taif Agreement did not bring stability to the political order in Lebanon or citizens trust in Lebanon's political institutions. The paper presents all the main political factors of Lebanese society, external and internal creators of political events, as well as the importance of the Taif Agreement for Lebanon. Special attention is paid to the issue of ethno-religious identity versus Lebanese identity. Through the presented studies of the Fragile State Index and the Arab Barometer, the World Bank's reports, numerous political crises, the shown violations of the Constitution and the Taif Agreement, it was concluded that the Taif Agreement did not contribute to the creation of a stable political order. This paper brings new, relevant data for Lebanon and in general for the crisis of confessional democracy.
