From relatively humble beginnings in the 1980s, Hizbullah's political clout and its public perception have followed an upward trajectory, thanks to a political programme that blends military, social, economic and religious elements and adapts to changes in its environment. Its communication strategy is similarly adaptive, supporting the group's political objectives. Hizbullah's target audience has expanded to a regional and global viewership. Its projected identity, too, shifted from an Islamist resistance party opposed to Israel's presence in Lebanon to a key player within the Lebanese state. At the same time, Hizbullah's image has retained fixed features, including its image as an ally of Iran; its role as a resistance group (to Israel); and its original base as a religious party representative of the Lebanese Shiites. The authors of this book address how Hizbullah uses image, language and its charismatic leader, Hassan Nasrallah, to legitimise its political aims and ideology and appeal to different target groups"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Hizbullah's management of its image and identity are scrutinised by the authors alongside analysis of the movement's communication strategy, political behaviour and performance"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPolitical parties$zLebanon 607 $aLebanon$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a324.25692/082 686 $aHIS026000$aPOL015000$aSOC052000$2bisacsh 700 $aKhatib$b Lina$g(Lina H.),$01180876 702 $aMatar$b Dina 702 $aAlshaer$b Atef 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787441703321 996 $aThe Hizbullah phenomenon$93799901 997 $aUNINA
