Description

Political Culture and Conflict Resolution in the Arab MIddle East develops a method for examining the explanatory capacity of political culture in relation to the issues of civil war and conflict resolution in Lebanon and Algeria.

How perception, shaped by values and assumptions, affects political behaviour presents scholars with potentially valuable but also dangerous possibilities.

Namely, seeking to explore the explanatory capacity of the nebulous concept of political culture can prospectively lead to the cul de sacs of essentialism or relativism.

In an attempt to engage with the concept of political culture, Political Culture and Conflict Resolution in the Arab Middle East develops a method for examining the explanatory capacity of political culture in relation to the issues of civil war and conflict resolution in Lebanon and Algeria.

Applying strict limits on the implementation of political culture in an explanatory capacity, namely its role as a secondary, relational and comparative concept, this book demonstrates how political culture operates to shape the form and affect the legitimacy of conflict resolution processes.

This is applied to two peace agreements, Lebanon's Taef Agreement and Algeria's Civil Concord.

Here. the importance of 'contextuality' is emphasised in developing a space where political culture can provide explanatory capacity whilst remaining connected to 'macro' theoretical concepts.
