| Title: | Creating a common space in a sectarian landscape: social work and cohesive action in post-war Lebanon |
| Authors: | Aanestad, Olav |

| Abstract: | Through the course of this thesis I will portray and debate the make up, projects and
members of a small organisation acting within a large context. Aiming to give a thorough
presentation of Mouvement Social, and to illuminate the organisation against the larger frame
of Lebanese society, I have divided the thesis into three main parts. In chapter two, which is
1 See appendix three for an overview of the confessional composition of the Lebanese population.

the first part, I will give an introduction to Lebanon. In this account I will particularly be
focusing upon the country’s history of sectarian conflicts, but also consensus, as well as the
social, political and economical conditions of post-war Lebanon. In the second part, which
includes chapter three, four and five, I will introduce my empirical elaboration on
Mouvement Social. In the third part I intend to present two main discussions. In chapter six
I debate how MSL dealt with sectarianism, while in chapter seven I address the organisation
as an actor within the state and civil society of Lebanon. |
