Changes in the Lebanese society, combined to the political evolution in the region, have led Paris, under Jacques Chirac’s presidency, to attempt a « come back » to Lebanon. After a decrease of its global political influence, France tries to occupy a position that allows it some efficiency in settling crises and gives priority to its intervention in fields such as culture and economic co-operation.Gérard Claude is Professor at the Institut d'études politiques of Aix-en-Provence and recently published Géopolitique et relations internationales en Méditerranée (Paris: Ellipses, 2007)
