Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Why has Lebanon become a failing state -- Chapter 3 How can a CDA approach contribute to the study of state failure -- Chapter 4 How does the act of coining words and expressions help in the manufacture of failure -- Chapter 5 Measuring social cohesion in a failed state through the citizenry's own evaluation and speech acts -- Chapter 6 How is a failed state perceived by its citizenry A study of the metaphors that reveal these perceptions -- Chapter 7 Conclusions.

This book examines public, political and media discourse in the context of failed states using Lebanon, a country torn by wars and political-financial corruption, as a contemporary case study. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), the author brings political and economic theories into dialogue with socio-linguistics to argue that public discourse in a failed state not only plays a role in that collapse but is a key presenting symptom of social disintegration. Through CDA, the book makes this phenomenon visible, and contributes to existing definitions of the concept "failed" or "fragile" state. In addition, the qualitative data and analysis provided offer a tool to assess a state's vulnerability to collapse. The book also expands the sociolinguistic model to eavesdrop on the zeitgeist of the nation in order to examine the degrees of social cohesion, sectarianism and bonding. This book will be of interest to discourse analysts, journalists, politicians, policy-makers, and economists. Samia Bazzi is Professor of Translation and Linguistics at the Centre for Languages and Translation, Lebanese University, Beirut. She has published extensively on political discourse and journalistic translation, analysing the links between language and politics using Critical Discourse Analysis. Her key publications include Arab News and Conflict (John Benjamins, 2009)
