  • The crisis in Venezuela : a study showing how a wealthy nation collapse 
    Antoun, Elie (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2022)
    The Venezuelan crisis was filling the headlines during 2019, and took the world’s attention. The country that once was the wealthiest in Latin America suffers the worst economic crisis of a country that is not experiencing war since the 20th century. Diseases, collapse of institutions, destitution, and repression have led millions to flee the country to neighboring states. Venezuela, that sits on the largest oil reserves in the world, has the phenomenon called “the resource curse”, where the government is spending all the money coming from oil without injecting any back into the economy.

Resistance movements in occupied territories have been accepted as a concept since WWII. However, the exact characteristics of these movements, ...
  • Terrorism and Saudi Arabia 
    El Morr, Elias (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2008)
    It is obvious that the events of September 11, 2001, triggered disputes about a detailed, comprehensive definition of terrorism. But there is still no unified or "universal" definition for terrorism. Such disputes will not result in an agreeable consensus and will make no notable benchmark towards the understanding of terrorism. This work tends to shed light on patterns, current trends and future threats of terrorism worldwide while stressing on the role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the negative and drastic effects and consequences it produces locally, regionally, and internation ...
  • Copyright protection for computer programs 
    El Sarnouk, André William (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2008-06)
    Globalization, nowadays, has reshaped many or most of the legal concepts humans thought of as indispensable.

Free movements of knowledge, thought, inventions, technologies, creations, and ideas have become available to humanity. This research investigates, therefore, the scope of copyright protection of computer programs and their impact. There is no doubt that the modern technology use stretches the law which is sometimes slow to react. One legal ...

These cases include highlighting the sexist-racist oppression that black women experienced during apartheid and engaging in the transitional justice of South Africa from apartheid to democracy. In other cases, post-apartheid South ...
  • The limitations of the United Nations' peace keeping operation mechanism : the case of UNIFIL

The notion of peace keeping was created as one of the counter solutions to any threat to global peace. Peace keeping operations constitute a compromise between peaceful settlement and joint imposition. Knowing the theoretical context and framework of the United Nations' Chapter Six and Chapter Seven is a must for a better knowledge of ...

  • Copyright law: a comparative study between the Lebanese and the US laws 
    Bijjani, Talal Nassif (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2004)
    The global world we're witnessing nowadays has reshaped many or most of the concepts we thought of as indispensable. Globalization has turned the whole world into a small village, cutting down boundaries, and opening channels which were inconceivable just a few years back: free movement of knowledge, thought, inventions, creations, and ideas have become commonplace. International trade has not been an exception. It too has been radically changed by this phenomenon called globalization. At the essence of international trade lies intellectual property trade. Therefore its protection has become ...
