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.

As the dominant political force in Lebanon and one of the most powerful post-Islamist organizations in the world, Hizbullah is a source of great controversy and uncertainty in the West. Despite the significant attention paid to this group by the media, the details of Hizbullah's evolution have frequently confounded politicians' and even scholars. In this important study, Joseph Alagha, a scholar with unprecedented access to the organization, exhaustively and objectively analyzes Hizbullah's historical evolution and offers a revolutionary new perspective on the political phenomenon of the organization. Hizbullah's Identity Construction is a timely examination of one of the world's most turbulent regions; a major contribution to the study of contemporary Islamic political movements in the Middle East; and a refreshing departure from the bland hagiographies and ad hominem attacks that are all too common in studies of Hizbullah's murky history. Superbly documented and argued, and rooted in broad knowledge of contemporary Islamist political thought, this study brings much-needed clarity to a hot-button subject. Joseph Alagha remains one of the most thorough and careful analysts of Hizbullah's political ideology and practice. Scholars, analysts, and policy makers will find in this work a veritable treasure trove of research and insights into this complex organization.

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.
