The Lebanese consociational model from 1943 till 1975 has been considered as a successful case of consociational democracy. The formula of power-sharing based on the 1943 national pact and inspired from the 1926 constitution has allowed a deeply divided society composed of many religious communities to regulate its conflicts, and counteract to a certain extent the centrifugal drives that threaten to destabilize it. This pact concluded between the Maronite President Bechara El Khoury and the Sunnite Prime Minister Riad El Solh constituted a turning point in the Lebanese history and a concretization of what Lijphart calls `the self-denying prophecy.΄ It was foremost a ˵bulwark against the disruptive potential of irrational confessionalism.″ [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
