ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The editors would like to thank the Italian Society for Middle Eastern Studies (SeSaMO)—in particular, President Matteo Legrenzi and General Secretary Paola Rivetti—for enabling us to bring together a group of researchers on a panel called “Lebanon facing the Arab uprisings: between internal challenges and external constraints” during its annual conference held in Venice in January 2015. We are also indebted to the Institut français du Proche-Orient (IFPO) in Beirut and to Myriam Catusse, the director of its “Etudes contemporaines” department, for giving us the opportunity to set up a workshop in Lebanon a few months later thanks to the European Research Council’s WAFAW (When Authoritarianism Fails in the Arab World) programme. We were privileged to receive a warm welcome at the Orient-Institut Beirut (OIB) and would like to convey our warmest thanks to its director, Stefan Leder. Our gratitude also goes out to Sarah Roughley and Jennifer Timmins at Palgrave for their patience and kindness throughout the process. We were fortunate to receive the support of the University of Turin’s Depar
