Mitra Moussa Nabo – författare

Drawing from theories of world society and from historical-sociological theories the book studies the past, present, and future of Middle East Christianity. It focuses on the interplay between local practices and post-colonial entanglements in global modernity.

This includes a historical overview on the history of Christians in the region, the relationship between Islam and Christianity, as well as case studies on the Maronites in Lebanon, Egypt’s Copts, the role of Protestant missionaries in the 19th century, processes of individualization amongst Middle East Christians, as well as papal diplomacy in the region.

Mitra Moussa Nabo präsentiert eine systematische Analyse des libanesischen Konflikts in den Jahren 2005 bis 2008. Darin ist die Konfliktdynamik als das Zusammenspiel der regionalen, nationalen sowie lokalen Ebenen zu verstehen. In der Untersuchung gilt der Libanon als integraler Bestandteil der Region des Nahen und Mittleren Osten, sodass der libanesische (Identitäts-)Konflikt als Teil der regionalen (Un-)Sicherheitsstruktur zu verstehen ist. Die libanesischen und regionalen Konfliktsysteme interagieren und ergänzen sich. Iranische, saudische und syrische Einmischungen sind so ein Teil dieses Interaktionsmusters, das zum einen aufgrund des Zusammenspiels von libanesischen und externen Akteuren vollzogen und zum anderen strukturell durch die Wechselbeziehung unterschiedlicher normativer Ordnungsgrundsätze ermöglicht wird. Dieses Analysemuster kann prinzipiell zur Beleuchtung anderer Konflikte in der Region herangezogen werden.
