Abstract:
The Syrian - Lebanese relations may be the strangest of the existing relations between two countries, gathering them together many interlaced and correlated issues historically and geographically, However, that privacy was weak and tense, because any political event can tense the relation between them, And harm the essence of their common interests, and puts the two peoples into a confrontation that could reach the hostility and hatred limits, and destroys everything gathering them, sometimes, these disputes open the door for outside parties that don't care about their interests but to deepen the tension atmospheres.Syria was a major title for the policy, and the political - economical relations of Lebanon with the other countries was depended on it, Lebanon has been a constant concern for each political leadership that rules Syria, its role on the international map and in the regional area determined in light of the relationship of that leadership with Lebanon.So, we cannot study the Lebanese - Syrian relations without talking about its complex history, although those relations were established and built properly, but they were not stable and steady, and in spite of the common agreements and data and the statements, those relations remained need to a future vision, providing the suitable foundations to form a strong relation between the two countries.The Arab religion subjected to a colonial scheme, aims to ensure the colonial interests on the Arab countries account. Henry Kissinger scheme Which leads to draw a new geographical map, and political on the basis of the sectarian and religious sort of entity - the government in the Arab countries was the model Which the major colonial circles sought to devote it now from Lebanon in particular - that dividing it into a series of narrow sectarian cantons is just to generalize the Zionist project that one of its stages was carried out in 1948, and its other stages is continuous so far throughout the sectarian policy (Al - kantanah) on the Arab countries one after the other, So the cantons that likely to be established will be remained subjected to relations of permanent tension between them, which will meet with Zionist strategy - colonial in their quest to practice the role of arbiter between these weak cantons, which has only one service, which is to serve as a safety valve (the Jewish state) in a civilized alternative to dedicated at the account of Arab - Islamic civilization in the region.I divided my research into a methodical production, and four chapters, and a conclusion, and was distributed as follows : The introduction dealt with the theoretical framework and the goal of preparing this research, and presenting some new hypothesis and conclusions.
