Connecting Islamism research, Critical Constructivist norm research, and resistance studies from the field of International Relations Theory, it demonstrates that resistance constitutes both organizations' core norm and is relevant for their conceptions of political order. Based on primary Arabic data the book illustrates that the core norm of resistance, deeply intertwined with both organizations' interactions towards power preservation and the specific political context they are engaged in, characterizes Hezbollah's and Hamas' respective conceptions of political order and explains the differences between them. In contrast to common perceptions presented in research, politics, and the media, the book shows that in the case of both Hezbollah and Hamas the religious orientation, i.e. Shiite and Sunni Islamist political thought, plays a secondary role only when it comes to explaining Islamist organizations' political orientation. Bringing new insights from cases that lie beyond the Western liberal world order into Critical Constructivist norm research and resistance studies, the book establishes a theoretical framework that enables scholars to comprehensively analyze Islamist organizations' political orientation in different cases without being caught in limited analytical categories. It will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations Theory, Middle East Studies, and Global Governance. 610 20 Hizballah (Lebanon) |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88191600 610 20 Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmīyah. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n88280213 610 27 Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmīyah. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00654141 610 27 Hizballah (Lebanon) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00648264 650 0 Islam and politics |zMiddle East. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104936 650 7 Islam and politics. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00979879 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 Middle East |xPolitics and government. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85090511 651 7 Middle East. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01241586 830 0 Routledge advances in international relations and global politics ; |v135. 852 0 |bf |hBP173.7 |i.K694 2018 902 kl |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20180404 904 kl |ba |hm |cb |e20180404 914 (OCoLC)on1005742145 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20221117 |eprocessed |f1005742145
