نبذة حيث ان القانون الإداري هو المرجع الذي يحكم علاقات الدولة وأعمالها، وحيث إن للدولة عدّة نشاطات تعنى بها من مرافق ومؤسسات وإدارات عامّة، والتي يصبّ نشاطها في المصلحة العامّة للدولة، فتُجري الدولة عدّة عقود لإدارة نشاطاتها في هذه المرافق بالأخذ بعين الاعتبار مبدأ استمرارية سير المرفق العام بالشكل الذي يصب في مصلحة الدولة العليا.

The Lebanese Republic does not currently have a comprehensive Defense Strategy. This paper explores the reasons for this oversight and the legal and constitutional mechanisms surrounding such a policy. Finally, this paper proposes a Defense Strategy for the Lebanese Republic. Not comprehensive by any means, this proposed Defense Strategy nevertheless discusses Lebanon’s assets in light of its geopolitical status and posits propositions in the matter of geography, military, water security, economy, human capital, intelligence, and finally oil & gas. This proposition has a self-admitted hamartia – it does not account for Hezbollah and other armed groups, as to do so would be impossible given the diplomatic intricacy and sensitivity of the matter. Indeed, the matter of Hezbollah and other armed groups is one of the main reasons why there is no Lebanese Defense Strategy to begin with. The Lebanese Republic must determine whether or not Hezbollah et al. are a national asset or a national threat, something that it has so far failed to do. This paper does not take a position on the matter.

دولة القانون تمهيد تبلور مفهوم دولة القانون تدريجياً، كتصوّرٍ بديل عن الامبراطوريات والملكيات، وهو يمثّل حالةً ناتجةً عن خضوع مجتمعٍ ما لنظام قانوني، مستبعداً الفوضى والعدالة الخاصة، يتم فيه احترام القانون ضماناً لحقوق وحرّيات الأفراد ومنعاً للاستبداد. إنّ هذا المفهوم هو مصطلح قانوني وسياسي، قانوني كونه عبارة عن نظرية دستورية تبيّن التحوّل في طريقة الحكم، […]
