The Evolving Patterns of Lebanese Politics in Post-Syria Lebanon - The Perceptions of Hizballah among Members of the Free Patriotic Movement

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.
