In \u003ci\u003eReproducing Sectarianism\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul W. T. Kingston examines rights-oriented advocacy networks within Lebanon's postwar civil society, focusing on movements and political campaigns based on gender relations, the environment, and disability. Set within Lebanon's postwar sectarian democracy, whose factionalizing dynamics have long penetrated the country's civil society, Kingston's fascinating study provides an in-depth analysis of the successes and challenges that ensued in promoting rights-oriented social policies. Drawing on extensive field research, including interviews and a wealth of primary documents, Kingston has produced a groundbreaking work that will be of interest to Middle East experts and nonexperts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890915754135,"sku":"9781438447117","price":8709.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781438447117.webp?v=1781181756","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reproducing-sectarianism-advocacy-networks-and-the-politics-of-civil-society-in-postwar-lebanon-9781438447117","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
