Hizballah in Lebanonby Magnus Ranstorp
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Lebanese Hizb'Alla organisation and its involvement in the abduction of Western citizens is a complex subject veiled in secrecy which plagued the conduct of foreign policy for most Western governments for over a decade. The West's chequered response to the hostage-crisis underlines the dilemma of the fulfilment of these state's duty to protect their citizens taken hostage abroad without major sacrifices in the conduct of foreign policy. This study demonstrates that the abduction of Western citzens by the Hizb'Allah was motivated either by internal organisational requirements or in alignment with Syrian and Iranian interests and that mechanisms for the resolution of the hostage-crisis were subject to continuous interaction between Hizb'Allah, Iran, and Syria, influenced by internal Lebanese, regional and international events. Synopsis:The abduction of Western citizens by Hizb'allah was motivated either by internal organizational requirements or in alignment with Syrian and Iranian interests. The mechanisms for the resolution of the hostage crisis were subject to continuous interaction between Hizb'allah, Iran and Syria and influenced by internal Lebanese, regional, and international events. The western responses to the hostage crisis showed limited effectiveness as the crisis management techniques were poorly adjusted in timing and direction to the actual crisis environment. This study provides a new approach to the study of terrorism by merging a case-study of the Lebanese hostage crisis with an evaluation of Western responses to resolve the dilemma of these states' duty to protect their citizens abroad without major sacrifices in the conduct of foreign policy. Synopsis:The Lebanese Hizb' Allah organization and its involvement in the abduction of Western citizens is a subject veiled in secrecy which plagued the conduct of foreign policy for most Western governments for over a decade.
