Hezbollah, Islamist Politics, and International Society

Meer over het boek

The book examines how the liberal international order influences Islamist movements, particularly through the case study of Hezbollah in Lebanon. It reveals that international norms significantly alter Islamist politics, compelling these groups to reconsider their traditional views on "authentic" Islamic morality and the legitimacy of global principles. The analysis highlights the complex and evolving relationship between Islamist movements and the norms governing international society, leading to a precarious yet innovative equilibrium in their political strategies.
