It sheds light on the movement?s activism, changes and sectarianism throughout the stages of movement emergence, persistence and party transformation. The author shows how the movement built on opportunities that culminated in its rise, both in civil society and nationally, despite a number of challenges. The book also reveals the formation of intricate units and communication channels to mobilize activism and increase commitment to the movement?s cause. While discussing the significance of Michel Aoun and Gebran Bassil to the future of the FPM, the author asserts that various party dimensions and practices are conditioned by regional and international politics. Joseph P. Helou is Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Lebanese American University in Beirut, Lebanon. His research interests include movements, political parties, international terrorism, post-war reconstruction, state capabilities and areas of limited statehood. He analytically treats topics of enquiry in a holistic approach uncovering the interplay between national, regional and international politics. 410 0$aReform and Transition in the Mediterranean,$x2945-6428 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aCommunication in politics 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aPolitical Communication 606 $aPolitical Leadership 606 $aPolitics and Religion 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCommunication in politics. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Communication. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 676 $a320.956 676 $a324.2569205 700 $aHelou$b Joseph P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059611 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369930003321 996 $aActivism, Change and Sectarianism in the Free Patriotic Movement in Lebanon$92507358 997 $aUNINA
