Teorie dell’autorità e del potere nell’Islam sciita secondo l’opera di ʿAlī Fayyāḍ

The aim of this research is to investigate the work of ʿAlī Fayyāḍ, a prominent polit-ical and intellectual figure within Lebanese Hezbollah, and to analyse theoretical founda-tions of power and authority from a specific Shīʿa perspective. This will make it possible to reconstruct the nature of the relation between authority and religion, as well as its narration inside Hezbollah human environment, also with a view to comprehending the theory of po-litical authority through the study of the intellectual structure underpinning the religious au-thority. The intention is to go further the usual approaches of Security studies that all too often prevail in this research field.
