Syria after Lebanon: Hooked on Lebanon
In: Middle East quarterly, Band 12, Heft 4, S. 35-42
ISSN: 1073-9467
This article argues that, although Syrian troops have withdrawn from Lebanon, their departure is little more than a symbolic acknowledgement of Lebanese sovereignty -- extracted under enormous pressure from the international community -- since the Syrian intelligence apparatus has merely gone underground, & more importantly, Syria has become "hooked" on huge revenues which continue to flow from Lebanon unimpeded. The sources for the multi-billion-dollar annual flow from Lebanon are discussed: underworld revenues from drug production, counterfeiting, & money laundering; Syrian control of Lebanese reconstruction industries, coupled with Lebanese governmental corruption; remittances from roughly one million Syrian workers in Lebanon; & the Syrian use of Lebanon as a captive market for its own exports, particularly agricultural produce, often while circumventing Lebanese customs. It is argued that the Syrian intelligence apparatus deters any resistance to the practices which provide this revenue base. Implications for Lebanese & US foreign policy are discussed in the article's final section. 3 Illustrations. T.K. Brown
