Infatuation

Possibly the best analysis of the Lebanese elections by Karim Makdisi. I particularily like this part:

"Civil society played an important role in the technical aspects of the elections, though in general it will have to reverse the worrying trend towards de-politicization, “Ngo-ization,” and infatuation with Western donors to present a genuine check on the political elite. " (Thanks Karim)
