Sport as Auxiliary of Political Action. The Case of the Hezbollah in Beyrouth
Franck Moroy
Functionalism, and the instrumentalization of non political actor, is not the only analytical framework for the study of the relationship between sport and politics. Relying on the example of Aahed, a lebanese football club closely identified with the political party Hizbullah, the author shows the «political exchange» between the two institutions. Aahed is not only an arena where the Hizbullah acts ; it also provides the shiite party with new means and resources, and thus contributes to its strategie adaptation to the new political context of the post-civil war period. The study of relationship between football and politics shows, on the one hand, how sports and political logics are linked in Lebanon and, on the orther hand, how religious/political forces play a part in the working of the football game.

The permanent conflict between Palestinians and Israelis in the southern regions of Lebanon forced local Shiites to create their own organization to protect the interests of the residents of the region. Today, the Shiite organization Hizbullah has become an important factor in the socio-political landscape of Lebanon.

This study systematically analyses Lebanon's major Islamist groups and local politics, in particular Hizbullah and al-Jam'ah al-Islamiyyah. (DSE/DÜI)
