Abstract

Rad pruža uvid u složene unutarnje i vanjske dinamike koje oblikuju Libanon te razmatra mogućnosti za njegovu političku stabilizaciju, gospodarski oporavak i sigurnosnu konsolidaciju. Rad analizira suvremenu geopolitiku i sigurnost Libanona, istražujući ključne čimbenike koji oblikuju njegovu unutarnju stabilnost i međunarodnu poziciju. Smješten na strateškom raskrižju između Istoka i Zapada, Libanon ima geografski i povijesni značaj, no suočava se s brojnim izazovima, uključujući političke podjele, ekonomske krize i sigurnosne prijetnje. Posebna pozornost posvećena je utjecaju geografskih obilježja, konfesionalnog političkog sustava, prirodnih resursa i tehnološkog razvoja na razvoj zemlje. Također, rad istražuje odnose Libanona sa susjednim zemljama te ulogu regionalnih i globalnih aktera na situaciju u Libanonu.
