Sandwiched between Syria and Israel, Lebanon is perhaps fated to be engulfed in the frequent bouts of violence that plague the wider Middle East region. In summer 2006, Beirut found itself once more under siege as Israeli missiles rained upon the capital. More often than not, however, the fighting has been internal - Lebanon has suffered frequent civil wars throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

"Breaking the Cycle" is the culmination of a conference held by the Centre for Lebanese Studies in summer 2006. The event, attended by the Lebanese prime minister, explored the path to a new Lebanon, a Lebanon free from the cycle of civil war. With the threat of civil war still ever-present, it is too soon to pass judgment on the lasting significance of the conference. But, as these writings testify, the visions outlined for Lebanon and her troubles form a significant step towards a dialogue for lasting peace, and are an enlightened and consolidated effort to truly 'break the cycle', once and for all.
