纳比赫·贝里

Nabih Berri exemplifies the kind of actor who survives the transition from civil-war militia politics into formal state brokerage. As leader of the Amal movement and later a long-serving parliamentary power center, his importance is not just that he held office. He demonstrates how armed-conflict networks can be folded into an enduring political order without fully disappearing. Berri was connected to Lebanon's civil war, Shiite political organization, and the postwar system in which former militia-linked leaders mediated state access, patronage, and coalition management. He converted wartime leverage into institutional longevity.
