Abstract

This work aims to shed light on the evolution of the Lebanese political arena after the withdrawal of Syrian troops in April 2005 by analyzing the perceptions of Hizballah among members of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), as the alliance between the two groups enters its fourth year. Hizballah is generally well portrayed among FPM members although the two constituencies have very few elements in common. Different backgrounds, confessions, political views and cultural traits distinguish them.

Abstract

La banlieue-sud de Beyrouth constitue une des zones les plus controversées de la capitale du Liban. Aujourd’hui, elle est considérée comme un espace sous-équipé qui, par sa population - 1/3 du Grand-Beyrouth - et son étendue, rivalise avec Beyrouth-municipe. Dans le cadre du processus de reconstruction de la capitale, elle représente donc un enjeu aussi bien politique qu’urbain. La banlieue-sud est en grande partie gérée par des partis politiques fortement implantés qui ont longtemps échappé à l’autorité de l’État. Un de ces partis, Hizballah, est actuellement une force active des plus puissantes et des plus notoires, particulièrement en ce qui concerne la gestion urbaine. Cependant, d’autres intervenants se chargent également de gestion urbaine : al-Mabarrat, le mouvement Amal et le Conseil supérieur chiite. D’autre part, depuis l’accord de Taëf en 1989, l’État effectue un retour en force dans la banlieue-sud en cherchant à regagner la confiance de ses habitants. La banlieue-sud est donc d’abord un espace de concurrence entre ces multiples acteurs. Territoires et limites y sont en permanence remodelés, redessinés et recomposés par leurs relations de pouvoir. Cette caractéristique détermine en grande partie les transformations récentes de cette zone mal connue de la ville. C’est pourquoi j’ai choisi d’analyser la banlieue-sud à travers les politiques urbaines de ses acteurs, publics et privés. Qu’elles soient explicites ou implicites, appliquées ou souhaitées, ces politiques révèlent des dynamiques régulatrices et des processus de négociation, sans cesse renouvelés. Si les rapports de force entre les acteurs ont souvent dégénéré en conflits armés pendant la guerre, aujourd’hui ils prennent d’autres formes, plus subtiles, moins apparentes.

Abstract

In response to a surprise incursion by Hezbollah combatants into northern Israel and their abduction of two Israeli soldiers, Israel launched a campaign that included the most complex air offensive to have taken place in the history of the Israeli Air Force (IAF). Many believe that the inconclusive results of this war represent a "failure of air power." The author demonstrates that this conclusion is an oversimplification of a more complex reality. He assesses the main details associated with the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF's) campaign against Hezbollah to correct the record regarding what Israeli air power did and did not accomplish (and promise to accomplish) in the course of contributing to that campaign. He considers IAF operations in the larger context of the numerous premises, constraints, and ultimate errors in both military and civilian leadership strategy choice that drove the Israeli government's decisionmaking throughout the counteroffensive. He also examines the IDF's more successful operation against the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip in December 2008 and January 2009, to provide points of comparison and contrast in the IDF's conduct of the latter campaign based on lessons learned and assimilated from its earlier combat experience in Lebanon.--Publisher description.
