First Draft: Decentralization in Lebanon

Decentralization in Lebanon
In the twenty first century or in other words, the century we are living in, is full of modern political thoughts and what is related to them from public sector reforms. There are so many political systems that are followed every where. These political systems can best be summarized by two controversial systems. These two systems are the Centralized and the Decentralized systems. In Lebanon we follow the central system as the unit or the way of governing.

Centralization of authority is a political system that started with the dawn of political systems and public sectors.
Centralization of authority in its meaning is known as the concentration of power in one place of the government. Most likely this place is the Capital. Centralized governments are generally those countries that are still developing. Centralized governments tend to squeeze all the live ports in one place in order to avoid corruption.
Centralized governments, have very big impacts on people's lives, in both ways negatively and positively. In the negative aspects, people feel troubled while doing their official tasks because they have to go into long and never ending rottenness procedures, the thing that never facilitates their lives. While on the other hand there is a positive side for this system, simply because people feel secure and guarantee that their jobs are accurate and legal.
In Lebanon we follow the centralized form of authority because the administration in Lebanon is still no implementing Decentralization although it is a part of the Lebanese constitution because of political consideration. This system has been followed in Lebanon since 1959 with the reforms done by the exe president of the Lebanese Republic General Fouad Shihab.

Decentralization has a different understanding in Lebanon from the western countries and especially the United States of America. In Lebanon

    Thomas L. Friedman’s Beirut to Jerusalem graciously dons its readers with a comprehensive overview of the conflicts of the middle east with a focalization of Israel and Lebanon. From a first hand experience, Friedman deftly navigates the politics, religion, and local stories during a ten year time span (1979-1988). This time span covers much of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the civil war of Lebanon. Friedman spends his first five years living in Beirut, and the next five years living in Jerusalem. He takes from these times a multitude of personal and local short stories to give a comprehensive overview of the life of a common man. From these stories he weaves a unique equilibrium of violence, nefariousness, and heart. Friedman manages to maintain the novels’ material equally pertaining to Beirut and Jerusalem in an attempt to show two sides of the story. Friedman’s favoritism for human life and disdain of senseless brutality, government, and corruption is what gives this novel its vibe. Thomas L. Friedman’s Beirut to Jerusalem uses a opinionated historical biography to…

    A weak central government disconnects regulation over the economy and allows for a better representation of the people since the people elect officials to office instead of having the governor pick and choose his officials. We can only learn from the history of our state and we can only hope we do not regress and commit the same errors. I do not believe in a strong central government because of radical exercise of political policy. Laws are passed with more ease but many of these laws are based upon elected official’s decisions and not directly from the popular…

    Setting up a new government system for Anation is a difficult and slow task. Anotion should be a democratic nation. Since democracy is a nation is which every citizen has an equal say Anation should feel like this governmental system is what works best for them. Federalism would be utilized in this nation. By following the principles of common federalism power would be distributed at regional, national and supranational levels. By setting up a democratic government Anation can make choices that the citizens have a say in. The fact of the matter is that you cannot make everyone happy with any decision that is made. It is just not possible. So by have a democracy and electing officials and voting it gives the fairness or at least the illusion of fairness. I think that for Anation which is a country with several different religious factions this is a system that would work the best.…

    In a unitary system, the central government is sovereign – it is the ultimate governing authority, with no legal superior. It can create other governments (regional governments) and delegate powers and responsibilities to them. The central government in a unitary system can also unilaterally take away any responsibilities it has delegated to any regional governments it creates and can even eliminate the regional governments.…

    A centralized structure is a management structure where decision making is done at higher levels by those with a strong position that includes having combined considerable knowledge and information about what needs to be done. In a centralized organization, decisions made by higher management are typically communicated to lower organizational levels who are then expected to accept and move forward in a way consistent with those decisions. Centralization is keeping all of the important decision making powers within head office or the centre of the organization. The control in this kind of organization is kept in the centre.…

    Government is the backbone of anything and everything. Ranging from the strict structure of North Korea’s totalitarian government to the anarchy of Somalia, a civilized group hinges on the rules and regulations they are held to. The beginning and most broad characteristic on any government is its category. Ancient Egypt was a theocracy, a government based on leaders of religious importance. Ancient Egypt was entirely based around religion. Religion is said to be so integrated into the culture that there was no separate word for it. The government was based upon a single ruler, the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh had complete control of the government and was viewed as a living God. Priests and holy men were utilized in most of the Pharaoh’s wishes. Ancient Greece was set up similar to our modern day democracy. With three branches, the Ekklesia, the Boule, and the Dikasteria, groups of men were used to control the government. The Ekklesia was a general assembly of sorts. Any male citizen could be in attendance for the meetings. “At the meetings, the Ekklesia made decisions about war and foreign policy, wrote and revised laws and approved or condemned the conduct of…
