description In this history of clientelism in Lebanon, it is shown that clientelism is firmly rooted in the Lebanese political system, despite the establishment of modern Lebanon. It has evolved from the traditional form of feudal or patrimonial clientelism to clientelistic brokerage forms. Four new types of clientelism, differing in clientelistic relations & networks, are identified: zu'ama, party-directed, military & Islamist. Clientelism's continuing presence has discouraged the implementation of universalistic policies & citizen participation. Individual participation in modern politics has remained vertical & fragmented; this will continue until the political system moves from a confessional to a secular structure & the economic situation improves.
