Les risques du nation building« sous influence » : les cas de l’Irak et du Liban
Marie-Joëlle Zahar
The Dangers of Nation-Building under “Influence”:
The Cases of Iraq and Lebanon
The literature on nation building has, to date, been UNcentric. However, increasingly, regional and global powers step in unilaterally or as part of coalitions to remove authoritarian leaders or end drawn out civil wars. These “interested” powers spearhead nation-building in the transitional period that ensues. While the UN has been criticised for its approach to nation-building, several differences emerge between its style and that of “interested” powers, namely as regards the importance given to the reestablishment of order and security as well as the willingness to use coercion rather than incentives. But is this more muscled style of intervention more likely to succeed? Does it fare better in empowering local societies and allowing them to take control of the nation-building process? The research offers preliminary answers to these questions by comparing Syria’s intervention in the post-civil war nation building in Lebanon and the United State’s current efforts in post-Saddam Iraq.
