Family determinants of social maladjustment and juvenile delinquency according to Natalia Han-Ilgiewicz

The purpose of the article is to review the key thoughts of Natalia Han-Ilgiewicz on the causes of social maladjustment and criminal delinquency in minors, related to the family environment. The text is based on the analysis of the content of selected works and research by the Polish scholar. According to Han-Ilgiewicz, among the most important causes of social maladjustment related to the functioning of the family are inadequate child-rearing practices and contacts, lack of strong family ties, the improper structure of relations in the family, and imitation of inappropriate behaviours.

Examining preconditions for integrated care: a comparative social network analysis of the structure and dynamics of strong relations in child service networks

BackgroundTo help ensure that children and families get the right support and services at the right time, strong and stable relationships between various child service organizations are vital. Moreover, strong and stable relationships and a key network position for gatekeepers are important preconditions for interprofessional collaboration, the timely and appropriate referral of clients, and improved health outcomes. Gatekeepers are organizations that have specific legal authorizations regarding client referral. However, it is largely unclear how strong relations in child service networks are structured, whether the gatekeepers have strong and stable relationships, and what the critical relations in the overall structure are. The aim of this study is to explore these preconditions for integrated care by examining the internal structure and dynamics of strong relations.MethodsA comparative case study approach and social network analysis of three inter-organizational networks consisting of 65 to 135 organizations within the Dutch child service system. Multiple network measures (number of active organizations, isolates, relations, average degree centrality, Lambda sets) were used to examine the strong relation structure and dynamics of the networks. Ucinet was used to analyze the data, with use of the statistical test: Quadratic Assignment Procedure. Visone was used to visualize the graphs of the networks.ResultsThis study shows that more than 80% of the organizations in the networks have strong relations. A striking finding is the extremely high number of strong relations that gatekeepers need to maintain. Moreover, the results show that the most important gatekeepers have key positions, and their strong relations are relatively stable. By contrast, considering the whole network, we also found a considerable measure of instability in strong relationships, which means that child service networks must cope with major internal dynamics.ConclusionsOur study addressed crucial preconditions for integrated care. The extremely high number of strong relations that particularly gatekeepers need to build and maintain, in combination with the considerable instability of strong relations considering the whole network, is a serious point of concern that need to be managed, in order to enable child service networks to improve internal coordination and integration of service delivery.

Worst of Friends, Best of Rivals: Agency vs Structure in Turkey-Russia Relations

The article studies the dynamics behind the unprecedented rapprochement between Turkey and Russia since the 2000s. It explains the growing degree of co-operation between Ankara and Moscow through the role of political leadership as well as to Turkey’s adjustment to the changing balance of power at the regional and global level. At the same time, the article highlights the competitive aspects of the relationship. It does so with reference to a series of case studies: the war in Syria, Turkey’s intervention in Libya since 2019, the purchase of S-400 surface to air missiles, energy security in the Black Sea the Southern Caucasus, and Turkey’s response to Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

On the issue of the object of legal relations from the mandatory state social insurance in case of unemployment

One of the urgent issues of today is the social protection of the unemployed, which is diverse and can be reduced to several organizational and legal forms. One of the organizational and legal forms of social protection of the unemployed is the mandatory state social insurance in case of unemployment. which is regulated by law, as a result of which legal relations arise in the relevant area. The purpose of the article is to clarify the object of legal relations from mandatory state social insurance in case of unemployment, which is of key importance in the structure of such legal relations. It was concluded that the object of legal relations is what their subjects exercise their subjective rights and legal obligations. The main purpose of the object is that it makes it possible to find out about what legal relations arise, what their legal regulation should be aimed at, what techniques and methods of the latter should be used to satisfy the interests and needs of individuals or legal entities. Not only the behavior of the subjects of legal relations, but also the achievement of the latter’s ultimate goal depends on how fully and correctly the object will be defined. The objects of legal relations from the mandatory state social insurance in case of unemployment are (a) social insurance benefits and (b) social insurance services. Social insurance benefit is a periodic or one-time cash payment in the system of mandatory state social insurance in case of unemployment, which is provided by the insurer in the event of unemployment or death of an unemployed person or a person who was dependent on him. Social insurance services are measures provided in the system of mandatory state social insurance in case of unemployment, which are aimed at individuals or their groups who are in a difficult life situation due to unemployment and cannot overcome it on their own, with the aim of improving their life activities, social adaptation and return to a full-fledged life.

Orientalism: From Expeditions to Colonialisation

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between orientalism and colonialism. More specifically, it analyses orientalism in its various ways before and during the nineteenth century to the present day, as well as its actual aims. For this purpose, the expeditions of some European orientalists, missionaries, and explorers are analysed and discussed. In addition to these expeditions, numerous writings and various viewpoints expressed by some authors in the social and human sciences are examined. The methodology used in the study is mainly based on critical literature sources. Overall, it appears that despite the attempts of some authors to challenge it, there is a direct and close link between orientalism, postcolonialism, and colonialism. Indeed, far from being a simple and innocent approach or discipline studying the relationship between the East and the West, orientalism served as a colonial ideology and prepare the ground to facilitate Europe's dominance over the rest of the world. Furthermore, the structure of international relations and the forms of relationship that certain European powers maintain with their former colonies reveal orientalist and neo-colonialist patterns.

LEGAL REGULATION OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The article analyzes the legal foundations of the foreign economic activity of the Russian Federation. The genesis of legislation in the field of foreign trade activity demonstrates the improvement of the process of managing foreign trade relations as a part of international relations. Based on the data of the foreign trade turnover of the Republic of Khakassia, it is proved that regional exports tend to increase, the geographical structure of foreign trade relations is changing, the commodity structure of imports is changing as well. Under the conditions of import substitution, the role of state assistance in terms of expanding new sales markets and foreign partners for Russian manufacturers is growing. The mutual interweaving of foreign economic and interregional economic complexes is important. For a long time, the processes of globalization that took place in the world economy have affected the economy, cultural and social relations of Russia. At present, there is a need to ensure the effectiveness of foreign investment, competitiveness of Russian goods in the world economy, and foreign trade in general. These tasks will be solved with their joint understanding and mutual work of both federal authorities controlling foreign trade relations and regional support of various centers of competence, non-profit organizations, consulting agencies. The solution of the issues of increasing the efficiency of foreign trade activity of a particular regional enterprise is possible by applying a set of measures to stimulate foreign trade activity, identifying specialization and evaluation of export-oriented objects of regional industrial production. The study proves that regional enterprises possessing sufficient economic potential, with an increase in the number of foreign trade contracts are able to increase the rate of production of competitive products to the world market. Recommendations on improving the structure of foreign trade activity departments of regional enterprises are given.

Values-based attitudes: the problem of notions correlations

In the given article the definitions of concepts that have a direct connection with value relations as one of the key categories of pedagogical axiology is considered. Despite the solid history of scientific research on this issue, the current state of pedagogical science requires the search for new solutions. In this regard, the authors of the article from the positions of exteriorization (from the outside - inward) and internalization (from the inside - outward) interpret the interpretations of the value orientation of the personality, its value attitudes and orientations, known in science. To this end, the authors conducted a content analysis of the definitions of these concepts and, through the construction of a matrix, carried out a clustering of their keywords. As a result, we came to the conclusion that value relations, holistically showing outwards the inner world of a person (attitudes, orientations and focus), reflect his value judgments about the facts and phenomena of reality. On this basis, the authors argue that these concepts are adjacent, but not synonymous. According to the authors, identifying the correlations of the above concepts will further eliminate discrepancies and extremely undesirable terminological liberty inherent in the social sciences and humanities, as well as build a compositional structure of value relations in the form of an expanded system of criteria and indicators of their formation. And on this basis, to design a pedagogical process aimed at the constructive familiarization of children and youth with the system of social/moral values.

Socio-Political Structure in Central Anatolia in the Third Millennium BC

In Central Anatolia, the socio-economic and political organization of communities in the 3rd millennium BC includes a limited number of studies from different perspectives. These studies refer to a socio-political system in which administrative units divided into regions and provinces are administered by “local rulers”, “independent princes" or "kings". It is suggested that the cities of these principalities were surrounded by walls, they were administered by a ruling class, they participated in commercial activities and the existence of an organization they controlled these, and emphasis is placed on the class society structure consisting of administrators, soldiers and merchants. As mentioned here, the social structure of the socities of the 3rd millennium BC and their relations with each other in the subject region are generally considered in a hierarchical order, and complicate to understand the different social models. Since the social structure cannot be explained only in hierarchical order, some new approaches have been developed. Accordingly, although different individuals in the society gain priority in various activities such as religion, trade, and politics, they may not exhibit a central and hierarchical structure in power relations. In this paper, based on this approach, the socio-political structure and power phenomenon of the 3rd millennium BC communities in the region will be discussed within the socio-economic models, production and specialization, evidence of administrative practices, patterns of settlement, burial customs, phenomenon of belief and remnants of material culture pointing to social complexity, and the views that refer to hierarchical structuring in power relations will be approached.

Meso-structural evaluation of asphalt mixture skeleton contact based on Voronoi diagram

The Voronoi diagram is a fundamental data structure for spatial neighborhood relations used in various fields related to geometric information. Taking four asphalt mixtures as the research object, this study established the skeleton contact Voronoi diagram model to characterize the contact meso-structure between coarse aggregates, and extracted the quantitative information of skeleton contact space. The results show that the skeleton contact Voronoi diagram model can represent important spatial information of asphalt mixtures from the meso-structure including the homogeneity of asphalt mixtures, the extrusion relationship between coarse and fine aggregates, and the skeleton contact distribution characteristics, etc. The shape of the connected tree reflects the coarse aggregate contact distribution and load transfer trend, and the order of the connected tree reflects the contact connectivity strength of the skeleton. We used Voronoi diagram area Vs, connected tree area TVs and the total length of contact points L to quantitatively evaluate the skeleton contact of asphalt mixtures. In the design of asphalt mixtures with dense skeletons, the evaluation criteria of skeleton contact characteristics include Vs (30–180 mm2) proportion ≥75 %, Tr-1 and Tr-2 proportion ≤75 % and L ≥70. The results provide new ideas to promote the quality of asphalt mixtures and pavement construction.

Restructuring the Public Relations Capacity of the Statistics, Informatics and Encryption Communication Service in South Sulawesi Province

This study aims to analyses the description of institutional structure and human resources for public relations, internal and external factors and to offer a public relations hypothetical model. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, which was carried out at the Department. Informants Informed purposively with consideration of internal and external representation of the Office. Data obtained by observation, interview, and document analysis techniques. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative interactive techniques between data collection, data reduction, data presentation, verification and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show: (1) An overview of the institutional structure and human resources of Public Relations, (2) Internal and external factors that become drivers and obstacles in the development of public relations capacity stem from internal strength, namely the existence of a number of authorities (publication, follow up, and decision-making) owned by the Dinas and external opportunities supported by the local government. While the internal obstacles are the strong interest of political parties in public services and external challenges, namely community participation in responding to educational posts that are still lacking, and (3) The hypothetical model of structuring the capacity of public relations that is applicable has not been realized, so it will not meet the target if its implementation is not compatible with digitization.

Features of the Intellectual Development of Preschool Children in the China

The article examines the peculiarities of the intellectual development of preschool children in the People's Republic of China, reveals the connection between the dependence of a preschooler's intellectual development on the peculiarities of his/her interaction with the surrounding social environment. The purpose of the article is to analyze and characterize the features of the intellectual development of preschool children in the People's Republic of China. Among the research methods used, the following were decisive: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical sources for theoretical substantiation of research problems, modelling, synthesis of the obtained data. Results. The results of the study of the intellectual development of high-status, medium-status and low-status members of educational groups of primary schools in the People's Republic of China are presented. It is shown that the intellectual development of high-status and middle-status children aged 4 to 5 years is higher than that of their low-status peers, primarily in aspects such as perception, attention, and memory. It is noted that the integral indicator of high-status subjects corresponds to an average or high level of intellectual development. Moreover, a high level is characteristic of the majority of subjects in this category. The integral indicator of intellectual development of middle-status test subjects is quite comparable to that of high-status subjects. Attention is drawn to the fact that, in fact, there is only one, but important feature between these two categories of subjects ‒ among the high-status children, there are no children with an integral indicator of intellectual development below the average. Conclusions. The integral indicator of intellectual development of the majority of low-status subjects corresponds to a low level of intellectual development. Through the prism of the concept of «interpersonal development situation», the dialectical relationship between the intellectual and socio-psychological development of preschool children in the People's Republic of China is analyzed. Methodical provision of the structure of interpersonal relations in educational groups of kindergartens of the People's Republic of China is presented. Based on the results of the research, a number of scientific and practical recommendations are proposed.

The role of network structure in integrated water management: a case study of collaboration and influence for adopting nature-based solutions

IntroductionIntegrated water management (IWM) involves a range of policies, actions, and organizational processes that go beyond traditional hydrology to consider multifaceted aspects of complex water resource systems. Due to its transdisciplinary nature, IWM comprises input from diverse stakeholders, each with unique perceptions, values, and experiences. However, stakeholders from differing backgrounds may disagree on best practices and collective paths forward. As such, successful IWM must address key governance principles (e.g., information flow, collective decision-making, and power relations) across social and institutional scales. Here, we sought to demonstrate how network structure impacts shared decision-making within IWM.MethodsWe explored a case study in Houston, Texas, USA, where decision-making stakeholders from various sectors and levels of governance engaged in a participatory modeling workshop to improve adoption of nature-based solutions (NBS) through IWM. The stakeholders used fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) to define an IWM model comprising multifaceted elements and their interrelationships, which influenced the adoption of NBS in Houston. We applied grounded theory and inductive reasoning to categorize tacit belief schemas regarding how stakeholders viewed themselves within the management system. We then used FCM-based modeling to explore how unique NBS policies would translate into more (or less) NBS adoption. Finally, we calculated specific network metrics (e.g., density, hierarchy, and centrality indices) to better understand the structure of human-water relations embedded within the IWM model. We compared the tacit assumptions about stakeholder roles in IWM against the quantitative degrees of influence and collectivism embedded within the stakeholder-defined model.Results and discussionOur findings revealed a mismatch between stakeholders' external belief statements about IWM and their internal assumptions through cognitive mapping and participatory modeling. The case study network was characterized by a limited degree of internal coordination (low density index), high democratic potential (low hierarchy index), and high-efficiency management opportunities (high centrality index), which transcended across socio-institutional scales. These findings contrasted with several of the belief schemas described by stakeholders during the group workshop. We describe how ongoing partnership with the stakeholders resulted in an opportunity for adaptive learning, where the NBS planning paradigm began to shift toward trans-scale collaboration aimed at high-leverage management opportunities. We emphasize how network analytics allowed us to better understand the extent to which key governance principles drove the behavior of the IWM model, which we leveraged to form deeper stakeholder partnerships by identifying hidden opportunities for governance transformation.

Analyzing Global Geopolitical Stability in Terms of World Trade Network Analysis

The global economy operates as a complex and interconnected system, necessitating the application of sophisticated network methods for analysis. This study examines economic data from all countries across the globe, representing each country as a node and its exports as links, covering the period from 2008 to 2019. Through the computation of relevant indices, we can discern shifts in countries’ positions within the world trade network. By interpreting these changes through geopolitical perspectives, we can gain a deeper understanding of their root causes. The analysis reveals a notable trend of slow growth in the world trade network. Additionally, an intriguing observation emerges: countries naturally form stable groups, shedding light on the underlying structure of global trade relations. Furthermore, this research highlights the trade balance as a reflection of geopolitical strength, making it a valuable contribution to the study of the evolution of global geopolitical stability.

RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES – A NEW VECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT <i>REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES G.Ya. KRASNIKOV</i>

Before our eyes, the existing world order is changing, and a new structure of economic and international relations is being formed. For all states—and primarily for Russia—these transformations result in serious challenges related to global security, technology development, and the protection of traditional values; science is among the fields that must respond to them.

Individual and Unity (Heti): The Generative Structure of Human Relations from the Confucian Perspective

In terms of the comprehension of modern order and values, understanding individuals and their relationship with the community has always been an important perspective. Scholars have noticed that traditional Confucian thought in China contains a profound understanding of individuals and their relationship with the community. In the Confucian perspective, an individual’s significance lies in human relations, with the “family” constituting the foundation and core of these. This study presents the unique structure of the “family” in Confucian ethics and its generative significance. A literature analysis of Confucianism reveals that it places significant importance on the husband–wife relationship. The husband–wife relationship is a unity (heti) in the order of human relations, where spouses enjoy equal status and respect. The union of husband and wife propels the generational progression of the entire human relation system, making the husband–wife relationship a core node in the continuity of human ethical order. In this generative structure woven by human relations, the individuals are always subordinate to the human relationships they are involved in. The primary significance of the individual lies in the roles and corresponding responsibilities assumed within various human relations. Previous discussions on Confucian ethics have failed to clearly unveil the generative structure inherent in the concept of the family. The Confucian understanding of the individual and their relationship with the community can only be accurately grasped by clarifying this aspect.

Prospects for the Development of Cooperation Between Russia and China in Modern Conditions: Economic Aspect

The study examined the current state and defined the prospects for the development of sustainable partnerships between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, which are of particular importance in the current state of the world economic system, as well as in the context of current trends in the final destruction of the concept of a unipolar world. The research considers the key elements of the economic and political model of China's development, which make this country a unique element of the modern world economy. The structure of economic relations between the Russian Federation and the PRC, which, due to its unequal value, creates certain problems for the development of complex mutually beneficial cooperation, is being studied. The authors described the most relevant and long-term areas of interaction that are in demand and determine the role and place in relations between the two countries of the most significant joint projects and decisions in trade, economic, military-political, and other areas that further deepen relations between Russia and China. We examined the peculiarities of relations between the two countries, due to a complex of geographical, historical and economic factors. We focused on the differences between the Russian Federation and the PRC, which, on the one hand, may hinder the activation of mutually beneficial joint development in some areas. On the other hand, the differences may allow countries to actively complement each other in the development and implementation joint decisions and actions on many issues of trade, economic and political cooperation, and eventually develop a long-term strategic partnership. We argue that there is a necessity of developing complex interaction between the Russian Federation and China in the conditions of global political and economic uncertainty characterizing the modern world.

The structure of the mathcal{N}=4 supersymmetric linear W_{infty }[lambda ] algebra

For the vanishing deformation parameter lambda , the full structure of the (anti)commutator relations in the mathcal{N}=4 supersymmetric linear W_{infty }[lambda =0] algebra is obtained for arbitrary weights h_1 and h_2 of the currents appearing on the left hand sides in these (anti)commutators. The w_{1+infty } algebra can be seen from this by taking the vanishing limit of other deformation parameter q with the proper contractions of the currents. For the nonzero lambda , the complete structure of the mathcal{N}=4 supersymmetric linear W_{infty }[lambda ] algebra is determined for the arbitrary weight h_1 together with the constraint h_1-3 le h_2 le h_1+1. The additional structures on the right hand sides in the (anti)commutators, compared to the above lambda =0 case, arise for the arbitrary weights h_1 and h_2 where the weight h_2 is outside of above region.

The Relationship Between Attachment Symbols, Attachment Styles and Self-Differentiation with Marital Intimacy

Intimacy is a basic human need and is recognized as an important process in the development of friendly relationships. Given the importance of this structure in marital relations, the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of self-differentiation, attachment symbols and attachment styles in the prediction of marital intimacy of marital couples in Zanjan city. The research method was correlation. All married couples living in Zanjan city in 2018 formed the statistical population of this study. The final sample consisted of 278 people selected by stepwise cluster sampling. The instruments of the Bagarozzi intimacy scale (2001), self-differentiated R-DSI revised questionnaire, Hazan and Shaver (1995), attachment style questionnaire and Hazen Attachment Symptom Questionnaire (1987). Non-parametric correlation test showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional intimacy with security and support. There is a positive and significant relationship between rational intimacy with support. There is a positive and significant relationship between sexual intimacy with adjacency and support. There is a positive and significant relationship between spiritual intimacy with security. There is a positive and significant relationship between the aesthetic intimacy with security. There is a positive and significant relationship between social-entertainment intimacy and proximity. There is a positive and significant relationship between the overall score of intimacy with proximity, security, and support. Pearson correlation showed that Pearson correlation indicated that there is a negative and significant relationship between the avoidant attachment style and the total score of intimacy and the components of social recreational intimacy and emotional intimacy. There is a negative and meaningful relationship between the attachment style of social-communicative intimacy. There is a negative and significant relationship between the ambivalent attachment style and the general score of intimacy and the components of social intimacy-emotional and emotional intimacy. The results of regression analysis indicated that only anxiety attachment style could predict marital intimacy among attachment styles and self-differentiation dimensions (R2 = 0.02). The findings of this study can be used to develop and implement educational and therapeutic programs in order to increase marital intimacy of couples. Key words: self-differentiation, attachment styles, marital intimacy, married couples

Agricultural holdings in the structure of agrarian legal relations: pro and contro

Purpose: the purpose of the article is to conduct an analysis of the legal aspects of the creation and operation of agrarian holdings, taking into account the need to ensure food security of Ukraine and guarantee the constitutional right of everyone to a sufficient standard of living in conditions of martial law. Methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of the available scientific and theoretical material and the formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. During the research, such methods of scientific knowledge were used: comparative-legal, systemic-structural, analysis and synthesis, historical method. Results. In the process of the research, the definition of an agricultural holding in the structure of agrarian legal relations in Ukraine was substantiated as an association of enterprises in the agrarian sphere with the aim of ensuring a closed cycle of production, processing, storage and/or sale of agricultural products with the use of large land plots mainly on lease rights, which is carried out under by the principle of subordination of corporate (subsidiary) enterprises to the holding (parent) company, has at least two participants (the holding (parent) company and the corporate (subsidiary) enterprise), and in which the holding (parent) company owns, uses and disposes of holding corporate blocks of shares ( shares) of two or more corporate enterprises, on the condition that the indicated block of shares exceeds 50% or amounts to an amount that ensures the right to decisive influence on the economic activity of the corporate (subsidiary) enterprise. Originality. In the process of analyzing the activities of agricultural holdings under martial law, it is substantiated that agricultural holdings in Ukraine, together with other subjects of the agrarian market, are in difficult conditions of conducting agribusiness in the conditions of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, while their access to land plots, financial resources, foreign investment and international aid programs is complicated. Therefore, in the post-war period, agricultural holdings may lose their dominant positions on the agricultural market of Ukraine and undergo reorganization. Practical significance. The results of the research can be used in the research field - for the further development of the problems of legislative regulation of the creation and operation of agricultural holdings in Ukraine, as well as in the rule-making work - in the preparation of projects of normative and legal acts aimed at improving the legislative regulation of the functioning of agricultural holdings in the agricultural market of Ukraine.

Neo-Weberian Reading of Violent Non-State Actors: The Case of Hezbollah

Multiple-actor reality and the impact of different units, except the states in stratified structural relations, have become more apparent in recent international relations. Specifically, the rising role of Violent Non-State Actors (VNSA) in regions like the Middle East and North Africa, and their challenges to the sole and central position of states, reinforced this idea. Hence, comprehending the possible actorhood of these groups within the structural relations consisting of internal and external realms necessitates alternative concepts and challenging arguments. The Neo-Weberian approach, inspired by historical sociology, offers a grounded and balanced analysis of actors. This approach puts state-society at the center of attention and, thus, looks at all dimensions (both actor and structure) of social relations as ingrained in the theory of structuration. In this way, it seems to capture the complex interactions between actors and structural dynamics, as well as the dynamic transformation of both ontological realities. Along this line, this study intends to illuminate the intriguing aspects and certain advantages of the structuration approach by scrutinizing Hezbollah’s agency, which is a critical VNSA in the Middle East, and its impact on structural relations, as well as its evolution over time. In other words, as a modest contribution to the structuration literature, the mutual interaction between agent and structure is explored via a unique case. This study argues that Hezbollah emerged as a result of the preexisting structural realities and, during the process, it proved its agency and influential role on these stratified structural dynamics. To substantiate these theoretical arguments, the permissive structural conditions in the region and in Lebanon will be explained, and then Hezbollah’s impact as an actor on these structural realities will be surveyed with a special emphasis on Hezbollah’s role over two regional dynamics: Arab uprisings, particularly the Syrian internal war, and its now hegemonic position in Lebanese politics.
