真主党：地区武装的非国家行动者

系列：中东政治中的劳特利奇研究
这本书探讨了真主党从一个国内的非国家武装行动者（ANSA）向一个地区性的非国家武装行动者（ANSA）的转变。它以真主党在黎巴嫩军事和政治层面的历史编纂为出发点，重点关注真主党军队参与叙利亚宗派编码的内战。
起初，真主党对叙利亚冲突的干预有限，后来逐渐扩大为在叙利亚大片领土上的全面介入，真主党利用其宗派（什叶派）身份证明其介入是正当的。以教派为中心的叙事和受害者身份仅仅是地缘政治对抗的工具，真主党的介入使其成为了一个地区性的安萨。这本书概述了这一转变之所以合理，是因为三个因素之间的相互作用：真主党的宗派动员及其宗派身份的工具化；向古典战术与游击战术和编队相结合的准军队转变；它作为一个伙伴嵌入了从贝鲁特延伸到德黑兰的轴心国。正是在2018年，一系列不可能重现的条件让真主党在国内和地区舞台上达到了顶峰。这本书表明，安萨党在中东地区秩序中发挥着重要作用。
经过仔细研究，真主党是对中东研究、中东政治和国际关系感兴趣的高水平本科生及以上的综合学习理想。
Hezbollah: A Regional Armed Non-state Actor
Series: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Politics
This book examines Hezbollah’s transition from a domestic into a regional armed non-state actor (ANSA). Taking its point of departure in Hezbollah’s historiography on the military and political levels in Lebanon, it focuses on the participation of Hezbollah’s troops in Syria’s sect-coded civil war.
Initially limited, Hezbollah’s intervention in the Syrian conflict gradually increased into a full-scale engagement across vast swathes of Syrian territory, with Hezbollah instrumentalizing its sectarian (Shiʿa) identity to justify its engagement. Sect-centric narratives and victimhood were a mere tool for what was a geopolitical confrontation, and Hezbollah’s involvement launched it to becoming a regional ANSA. The book outlines that this transition was only plausible because of the interplay between three factors: Hezbollah’s sectarian mobilization and instrumentalization of its sectarian identity; the shift into a quasi-army combining classical with guerrilla tactics and formations; and its embedding as a partner in the axis which now extends from Beirut to Tehran. It was in 2018 that a set of conditions, impossible to reproduce, allowed Hezbollah to reach its culmination on both the domestic and regional theatres. This book shows that ANSAs are playing prominent roles in the regional order in the Middle East.
Meticulously researched, Hezbollah is a comprehensive study ideal for upper-level undergraduates and above with an interest in Middle East studies, Middle East politics, and international relations.
