Abstract

The contribution is a reprint of the British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies´ special issue of 2017. It questions the widespread assumption of Lebanese parties being mere "instruments" in their leaders´ hands by asking what partisans see through their chairmen. It describes an informal social contract between partisans and leaders, outlining reciprocity in interpreting the "cause", being symbolized by the latter. Finally, it highlights some noticeable restrictions of this informal contractility.
