Lebanon's policy towards the Syrian crisis analysis in the context of multi-communal states

In this study, Lebanon's approach to the Syrian crisis will be examined. While analyzing this issue, the approach applied by each actor to the Syrian crisis and the reasons behind this approach will be analyzed by considering the complex structure and historical experience of the Lebanese state. The political and sectarian divide within Lebanon has greatly affected its approach to the crisis, especially in terms of political, economic and social actions. The causes and consequences of these actions will be examined. In addition to Lebanon's reactions, the political and strategic lessons and suggestions from the crisis, Lebanon's coping mechanisms with the crisis will be analyzed. In this study, besides the events that have shaken Lebanon for years due to its political structure and geographical location, the events that have happened to Lebanon in the last two years will also be analyzed. The economic crisis, the protests, the explosion that hit the most important port and the global epidemic will be analyzed in order to create a clearer picture of the Lebanese response when it comes to the Syrian crisis. Moreover, the interviews conducted in Lebanon with the Lebanese people and Syrian refugees in camps in Tripoli in January of this year will be of great help in analyzing how Lebanon has followed and reacted to this crisis.
