Architecture, power and religion in Lebanon : Rafiq Hariri and the politics of sacred space in Beirut /

: In Architecture, Power and Religion in Lebanon , Ward Vloeberghs explores Rafiq Hariri's patronage and his posthumous legacy to demonstrate how religious architecture becomes a site for power struggles in contemporary Beirut.
