Political Mobilization in Heterogeneous Societies Under a Consociational Political System
This article is a comparative study of the influences that consociational democracies have on political mobilization. By drawing on theories on collective action, social movements and ethnopolitics, it offers a novel explanation of how the consociational political system affects oppositional political mobilization. The nature of the political system has a strong causal relationship with the identity of the political mobilization. While some polit…
The ruling ideology or shared identity? The underlying causes of Iran’s influence in Iraq
This article examines the role of both ideology and identity in Iran's policy in Iraq. In each society, there are competing self-images such as ethnic, ideological, and religious perceptions that impact foreign policy. Which begs the question whether identity or ideology has more influence? I argue that shared religious identity in two different countries is more important than ideology in mobilizing segments within multi-confessional societies. …
Navigating narrow interests
This article hypothesises the intricate role of the elite within a consociational political framework characterised by a rentier economy. It posits that the societal interest is perennially sidelined due to the sectarian and ethnic delineations inherent in the representation of sub-identities. The competition among the elite to secure control over the state's financial resources, predominantly derived from natural reserves, further exacerbates th…

Parasitical elitism in a sectarianized political system with a rentier economy
This article theorizes the role of the elite in a sectarianized political system with a rentier economy. It argues that by virtue of the sectarian and ethnic representation of the sub‐identities, the long‐term interests of society are neglected. The reliance on natural resources creates a competition within the elite to seize the state's revenue for narrow interests. Finally, in such a setting, the elite attempts the monopolization of the flow of…
Insurgency, Proxy, and Dependence
Patron states provide their proxies with support for a variety of reasons. To better understand the relationship between states and their proxies, it is important to deconstruct the different means of support. For instance, even after an armed group gains economic and military autonomy, ideological affiliation can be an important factor. The ideological convictions of individuals within an armed group serve as a compass for the actions of the lar…
Hezbollah in Syria
Ideology and interest often contradict each other in the lives of individuals, organizations, and states, but the contradiction ceases when survival is at stake. This study demonstrates that even longstanding insurgencies undergo major shifts when they find it difficult to maintain ideological purity. While ideology plays a significant role for these insurgencies, context makes it imperative to be flexible and put interest first in fluid circumst…
Deterrence by insurgents
Deterrence between states is a long-established theory in security studies, but it is rare, if not unique, that an insurgency would deter a state from attacking another country. Insurgencies in the Middle East are increasingly playing an international role, of which deterrence is only a part. This generates an interesting dynamic in which an insurgency uses non-traditional tools to dissuade an adversarial state from attacking the group or country…
