Shi ite Geopolitics in Lebanon before and after the Thirty Three- Day War

This study has dealt with the Shi’ite geopolitical changes in Lebanon before and after the thirty three- day war. The essential question is that what kind of geopolitical changes has this thirty three-day war brought about for the Shi’ites of the country?The pre-war period can be divided into three time intervals: 1. Period of geopolitical weakness concerning the time before 1960s BC; 2. Inception of the geopolitical credence which began with Imam Musa’s action; 3. Beginning of the extension of geopolitical territory which was initiated by the unofficial resistance against the Zionist aggressors in 1992 and was perpetuated with the official military measures entitled as Islamic resistance and active political participation in parliament and city/ village councils elections. The basic difference between pre and post war periods lies in the fact that post-war period is considered to be the time of expansion and stabilization of the geopolitical territory of Shi’ite in Lebanon so that decision making in Lebanon without respect to the volition and will of Shi’ites is impossible. Most of the states and nations have legitimized and supported the political and military actions of Hezbollah at the international level. Accordingly, Seyyed Hasan Nasrollah has become the most beloved and popular political figure of the Arab world.
