| Summary: | The unwavering influence of electoral laws in sustaining and developing a republic makes it ever so crucial in today’s wobbling democratic state of Lebanon. At the center of it all is the issue of proper presentation, which can make or break an electoral law. The following thesis dissects the latest parliamentary electoral law (2017) in order to establish how successful it will be in establishing proper representation and in the everlasting objective to eliminate sectarianism while countering corruption, and how it compares to the previous law in this regard. As we explore various independent variables that affect its success, we will discuss the established literature about the major types of electoral systems and their relative advantages and disadvantages, plus various forms of power sharing, and the issue of corruption in the electoral process. |
