Abstract:
The Bcharreh–Dinniyeh dispute illustrates how resource scarcity, when left unmanaged, can transform into a conflict. What began more than a decade ago as a dispute over the ownership of Qurnat al-Sawda — a critical source for northern Lebanon’s groundwater recharge and pastoral livelihoods — has escalated into cycles of violence and sectarian tension.
Without credible state intervention and participatory management frameworks, resource competition will continue to erode social cohesion and threaten long-term stability. Contents:
