  • Dispute settlement process in WTO 
    Bechara, Claire Mansour (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2004)
    The power to settle international disputes with binding authority distinguishes the World Trade Organization from most other intergovernmental institutions.

  • Down and out in Syria and Lebanon : media portrayals of men and masculinities. Towards a research agenda 
    El-Helou, Rouba (Analize – Journal of Gender and Feminist Studies, 2019)
    This essay explores some directions for future research of media coverage of male refugees, particularly from Syria. I link the narration of refugee stories to their mobility, their loss of home, belonging, possessions, people and social networks. However, these stories also entail the discovery of new territories and locations, of families in transition, of men whose ongoing mobility constantly impacts their ability or inability to take care of their loved ones and thus live up to the prescribed roles of men in the constructed conservative society from which they came.
