الملخص الإنجليزي

My thesis analyzes the role of Hezbollah’s social services in Lebanon through the case study of the Al Mahdi Scouts.

In particular, I research the role of this Scout group in Lebanese society, in the education of the youth, and in the construction of Hezbollah’s identity.

First, I investigate the Al Mahdi Scouts’ identity and nature, and I show how blurred is the distinction between education and indoctrination.

Then, through the content analysis of the Al Mahdi Scout Forum, I illustrate how the Al Mahdi Scouts create, frame and strengthen Hezbollah’s identity.

Aware of the more controversial issues regarding this apparatus, I show how considering it a mere recruitment tool is limitative, and I propose a more comprehensive and balanced evaluation.

The ultimate goal is to show how Hezbollah’s social and educational services ― like the Al Mahdi Scouts ― play an important role in Lebanon, how they participate in Hezbollah’s resistance, and how they contribute to its success and to the cohesiveness of its community
