Abstract

Il existe très peu de publications en langue française sur le Hezbollah, qui est pourtant devenu, au fil des années, l'un des principaux acteurs de la scène politique moyen-orientale. Solidement implanté dans la communauté chiite libanaise, disposant d'une force armée et d'un vaste réseau d'alliés, il soulève les passions les plus violentes et les plus contradictoires tant au Liban qu'à l'échelle régionale et internationale. Cet ouvrage a l'ambition d'aborder ce singulier phénomène, à la fois politique, social et religieux, sans préjugés ni clichés. Il se propose en effet de partir des terrains où se manifeste le Hezbollah et d'observer la manière dont il se comporte. Certains chapitres traitent de questions de fond, d'autres apportent des éclairages sur des points précis, et de l'ensemble se dégagent peu à peu un portrait, le plus vivant possible, du Hezbollah, mais aussi un récit de son histoire. Faisant appel à différentes disciplines des sciences sociales, enrichi d'une substantielle chronologie, d'un glossaire et d'une bibliographie conséquente, Le Hezbollah, état des lieux est un livre de référence.

Abstract

Le Hezbollah, aujourd'hui principal parti politique libanais, reste une organisation mal connue. Diabolisé par certains, adulé par d'autres, il fascine d'autant plus qu'il ne se laisse pas aisément appréhender. Son affaiblissement voire sa disparition ont été maintes fois annoncés depuis sa création au début des années 1980 ; or, force est de constater qu'en près de trente années d'existence, il n'a cessé de monter en puissance, tant sur la scène régionale que sur l'échiquier politique libanais, comme son public lui voue aujourd'hui un soutien et une loyauté sans précédent. Cet ouvrage a trois fonctions. Il donne une définition articulée du Hezbollah, dont il présente l'histoire, l'organisation interne et l'action sociale et politique. Il expose les ressorts et l'évolution de sa mobilisation au fil du temps, et retrace par la même occasion un autre parcours, politique mais surtout identitaire : celui de la communauté chiite, aujourd'hui première constituante de la société libanaise. Basé essentiellement sur des sources primaires, dont de nombreux entretiens avec des cadres et militants du parti, ce texte offre un regard neuf et documenté sur le « phénomène Hezbollah » et la politique libanaise des dix dernières années.

Abstract

Salafism, comprised of fundamentalist Islamic movements whose adherents consider themselves the only ""saved"" sect of Islam, has been little studied, remains shrouded in misconceptions, and has provoked new interest as Salafists have recently staked a claim to power in some Arab states while spearheading battles against ""infidel"" Arab regimes during recent rebellions in the Arab world. Robert G. Rabil examines the emergence and development of Salafism into a prominent religious movement in Lebanon, including the ideological and sociopolitical foundation that led to the three different schoo

Abstract

"Tracing the rise of Islamism in Lebanon and its attempt to Islamize society and state by the reverse integration of society and state into the project of Islamism, this book looks at Lebanon against a background of weak and contested national identity and capricious interaction between religious affiliation and confessional politics and attempts to illustrate in detailed analysis this "comprehensive" project of Islamism according to its ideological and practical evolutionary change. The author demonstrates that, despite ideological, political and confessional incongruities and concerns, Islamism, in both its Sunni and Shi'a variants, has maintained a unity of purpose in pursuing its project: Jihad against Israel and abolishment of political sectarianism"-- "The book traces the rise of Islamism in Lebanon and its attempt to Islamize society and state by the reverse integration of society and state into the project of Islamism.

Abstract

For thirty years, Hezbollah has played a pivotal role in Lebanese and global politics. That visibility has invited Hezbollah's lionization and vilification by outside observers, and at the same time has prevented a clear-eyed view of Hezbollah's place in the history of the Middle East and its future course of action. Dominique Avon and Anaïs-Trissa Khatchadourian provide here a nonpartisan account which offers insights into Hezbollah that Western media have missed or misunderstood. Now part of the Lebanese government, Hezbollah nevertheless remains in tension with both the transnational Shiite community and a religiously diverse Lebanon. Calling for an Islamic regime would risk losing critical allies at home, but at the same time Hezbollah's leaders cannot say that a liberal regime is the solution for the future. Consequently, they use the ambiguous expression "civil but believer state." What happens when an organization founded as a voice of "revolution" and then "resistance" occupies a position of power, yet witnesses the collapse of its close ally, Syria? How will Hezbollah's voice evolve as the party struggles to reconcile its regional obligations with its religious beliefs? The authors' analyses of these key questions-buttressed by their clear English translations of foundational documents, including Hezbollah's open letter of 1985 and its 2009 charter, and an in-depth glossary of key theological and political terms used by the party's leaders-make Hezbollah an invaluable resource for all readers interested in the future of this volatile force.

Abstract

In this book, Shaul Mishal and Ori Goldberg explore the ways in which Shiite leaderships in Iran and Lebanon approach themselves and their world. Contrary to the violent and radical image of religious leaderships in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Lebanese Hizballah, the political vision and practice of these leaderships view the world as a middle ground, shying away from absolutist and extremist tendencies. The political leadership assumed by Shiite religious scholars in Iran and Lebanon has transformed Shiite Islam from a marginalized minority to a highly politicized avant garde of Muslim presence, revitalized the practice and causes of political Islam in its struggle for legitimacy and authority, and reshaped the politics of the Middle East and the globe in its image. Utilizing approaches from social theory, history, theology, and literary criticism, the book presents these leaderships as pragmatic, interpretative entities with the potential to form fruitful relationships between Shiite leadership and the non-Shiite world.

Abstract

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
