Comparative analysis of political systems of Lebanon and Switzerland

The paper examines consociational democracy, focusing on Lebanon and Switzerland as case studies. It analyzes the historical context and the failures of the French mandate in Lebanon, highlighting how these mistakes hindered effective governance. By contrasting Lebanon's experience with Switzerland's successful implementation of consociational principles, the research offers insights into how Lebanon could develop if these democratic practices were properly applied. The work draws from significant social science literature to support its analysis and recommendations.
