La misère du Liban: une population appauvrie, peu d'état et plusieurs solidarités souterraines

Revue Tiers-Monde, 2004, vol. n° 179, issue 3, 515-537

Abstract: Due to a dualisation of the income structure and because of the present economic crisis, Lebanon faces a poverty which affects approximately one third of its population. And yet this issue is hardly addressed at the national level for ideological, financial and institutional reasons. This does not mean that poverty is completely ignored because the management of social inequality also takes place at a sub-national level where families, confessions and political elites dominate. These entities show solidarity with the poor who, in return, contribute to maintaining the traditional hegemonies of their donors.
