Tarek Abou Jaoude

Teaching Fellow in Politics and International Relations, University of Portsmouth

Tarek is a researcher and currently a Teaching Fellow at the University of Portsmouth. His focus is on contemporary Lebanese politics, as well state-building and nation-building processes more generally. Tarek's work so far has centred around state formation and building political legitimacy in the case of Lebanon during the 20th century, though recent publication have looked at the nuance in conceptualising political legitimacy across non-Western contexts. Separately, Tarek is also active in researching international law, specifically with regard to belligerent occupation.
