Legislation Tracker
-
When assessing the output of the past four Lebanese governments we can identify a fixed ratio as to the nature of legislations being issued, with 81.5% of total legislations being administrative in nature, 16.5% regulatory, and 2% international agreements and MoUs. -
Between 17 October and 20 November, the government issued 73 licenses, which constitute more than half of the total licenses (141) given prior to the protests. Of these licenses, 68 were issued after the resignation of the PM, the majority of which were given to small and medium-sized enterprises (84%)
About Tracker
The Lebanese Center for Policy Studies (LCPS) introduces the Legislation Tracker, an analytical tool that uses archival legislation data to assess what Lebanon’s policymakers pay attention to. The tool uses Lebanon’s Official Gazette, which is the government’s official journal where decisions and legislative texts are published in order to be put into effect and become legally binding. LCPS downloaded, categorized, and analyzed every legislative text and decision for a number of recent governments and coded the legislation according to three methodologies: the Comparative Agendas Project (CAP) and two new methodologies developed by LCPS.
