Abstract

The composition of the Lebanese Parliament is based on the allocation of a specific number of seats to each of the various minority groups (confessions) in this country, which is considered to be the only parliamentary democracy in Arab Middle East. Using tools from cooperative game theory, this paper analyzes the power of different confessions in the Lebanese parliament. We study the difference between the ?apparent? power and the ?real? power of each minority group involved in the decision process. This paper also analyzes the impact of the new electoral reform on the power of each confession. We will show that the confessional compromise in Lebanon is far from being flawless.
