Abstract: Lebanese society is characterized by remarkable capacities for political mobilization; it displays nevertheless a particular scarcity in social protest. Since the end of the civil war (1990), movements have been organized against the anti-social consequences of the reconstruction policies but have seldom been successful. The social State remains embryonic, with minimal social rights provision, while the social gap is still widening. This article addresses this apparent paradox, examining the timidity of social policies and the limits within which today?s most emblematic mobilizations are being organized, specifically those of the transportation and public secondary education sectors.
