| Synopsis: |
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Islamist organizations' conceptions of political order based on a comparative case study of the Shiite Lebanese Hezbollah and the Sunni Palestinian Hamas. Connecting Islamism research, Critical Constructivist norm research, and resistance studies from the feld of International Relations (IR) Theory, it demonstrates that resistance constitutes both organizations' core norm and is relevant for their conceptions of political order. Based on primary Arabic data the book illustrates that the core norm of resistance, deeply intertwined with both organizations' interactions towards power preservation and the specifc political context they are engaged in, characterizes Hezbollah's and Hamas' respective conceptions of political order and explains the diferences between them. In contrast to common perceptions presented in research, politics, and the media the book shows that the religious orientation of both Hezbollah and Hamas, i.e. Shiite and Sunni Islamist political thought, plays a secondary role only when it comes to explaining Islamist organizations' conceptions of political order. The book establishes a theoretical framework that enables scholars to comprehensively analyze Islamist organizations' conceptions ofpolitical order in diferent cases. Bringing new insights from cases that lie beyond the Western liberal world order into Critical Constructivist norm research and resistance studies, this work will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations theory, middle east studies and global governance. |
