"Au Moyen-Orient, le Hezbollah libanais apparaît désormais comme un acteur politique et militaire incontournable. Au Liban, il est de tous les gouvernements et a acquis de fortes positions de pouvoir. Ses détachements armés qui luttent à la fois contre l'État islamique et soutiennent le régime despotique d'Assad, ont acquis un poids militaire digne d'une véritable armée. Né comme l'expression politique des couches chiites libanaises pauvres et marginalisées par un système politique confessionnel discriminant, le Hezbollah s'est imposé à la faveur de l'expansion régionale de la République islamique d'Iran. Il est devenu le principal représentant d'une communauté chiite qui a connu de profondes transformations avec le développement d'une bourgeoisie, notamment dans la diaspora libanaise. Ces évolutions n'ont pas été sans conséquences sur la physionomie du mouvement islamique qui s'est adapté au système dominant et accompagne désormais activement les politiques néolibérales, au risque de fortes contradictions avec sa base sociale d'origine. Se refusant à réduire le Hezbollah à sa nature religieuse ou à céder à un orientalisme hasardeux, l'auteur resitue son développement dans le cadre des transformations sociales et économiques du Liban. Il nous éclaire sur les relations du mouvement islamique avec la société civile libanaise"-"et plus particulièrement son opposition aux syndicats et aux mouvements sociaux. Enfin, il examine le développement de son appareil militaire et sa politique étrangère, notamment à l'égard des printemps arabes et du soulèvement populaire syrien" (4ème de couv.).

Almost thirty years after its foundation, Lebanese Hezbollah is an organization that remains difficult to understand. What exactly is Hezbollah? An Islamist terrorist group dedicated to destroying Israel? The first Arab national resistance to have ever defeated Tel Aviv's troops? A patriotic and respectable party or a fascist network having managed to control all levels of Lebanese political life? How did this organization acquire such an important role in the Middle-Eastern game and in Lebanese politics? This book has three purposes. Firstly, to clearly articulate a definition of Hezbollah, presenting a thorough history of the party, describing its internal structure and the large scope of its social and political action. Secondly, to explain the evolution of the party's mobilization. And finally, to illustrate another path, political but mainly identity-related: that of the Shiite community, the main constituent of Lebanese society today. Through a rigorous and richly documented study, based on primary sources including hundreds of interviews with rank and file members, executives and officials of the party, and research material never examined before, the author unveils brand new aspects of this organization, thus completing our understanding of both the "Hezbollah phenomenon" and Lebanese politics of the last two decades.

Finding Room in Beirut: Places of the Everyday demonstrates why it is worth our while to explore the value and contemporary meaning of urban areas about to undergo complete renewal. Branching off from discourses surrounding the terrain vague, the book argues that large populated urban areas meet the criteria of the vague and constitute a particular perspective from which to build a critical stance in regards to the contemporary city. But unlike a terrain vague, a vague urbain -- inhabited areas where property ownership is usually obscure and informal behaviours a daily affair -- possesses real communities and offers an alternative understanding on how a city can be practiced and how lessons should be learned before its complete transformation. Stemming from a photographic and architectural documentation of Bachoura, a central area of Beirut, Lebanon, the book shows how the vague urbain allows for different ways of inhabiting, ways that are as -- or perhaps even more -- real and anchored in the imagination of the city as those proposed by standardising developments. Building on the intricacies of found situations, improvised uses and local narratives, it is an exploration as to how the meeting of a marvellous realism with l'intrigue, the vague urbain, and temporary architecture can provide opportunities for the emergence of hidden narratives.

Explains Hezbollah’s ceaseless drive for survival and the unintended, tragic consequences it has generatedWhat drives Hezbollah’s political behaviour? For three decades we believed that the impetus of establishing an Islamic state in Lebanon was its main goal. This book disagrees. Drawn from over fifteen years of research, it traces Hezbollah’s political trajectory, or socialisation process, from its birth in 1982 to 2017. It identifies the religio-political identity and doctrine that inspire Hezbollah and the politico-strategic goals that motivate it. It argues that war-making with Israel has driven Hezbollah’s socialisation in Lebanon and the region, transforming the Islamist movement from a loose organization into one of the world’s most powerful and sophisticated armed political movements.Key FeaturesUses a theoretical framework rooted in the intellectual tradition of Historical Sociology to offer a new conceptualisation of Hezbollah as an armed political movementDraws from International Relations and Sociological theories to advance an explanation of the causes and consequences of Hezbollah’s socialisation processUses field interviews in Lebanon, speeches and religio-political writings of Hezbollah officials, testaments of its fighters, and party communiquésShows how Hezbollah’s motivation to make war with Israel has generated unintended consequences including security paradoxes, political conformity, and ethical dilemmas
