Palestinian Politics after the Oslo Accords

Informationen zum Autor Nathan J. Brown is Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at The George Washington University. He is the author of Constitutions in a Nonconstitutional World: Arab Basic Laws and the Prospects for Accountable Government (2001)! The Rule of Law in the Arab World: Courts in Egypt and the Gulf (1997)! and Peasant Politics in Modern Egypt: The Struggle against the State (1990). Klappentext Brown attempts to cut through the rhetoric about the Arab-Israeli conflict to argue that Palestinians have a history--and that history is more than an ancient connection to the land. They also have a legal and political history! and therefore the essential framework for establishing a viable state. Zusammenfassung This work gives an internal perspective on Palestinian politics, viewing political patterns from the Palestinian point of view rather than through the Arab-Israeli conflict. It presents the meaning of state-building and self-reliance as Palestinians have understood them between 1993 and 2002. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface 1. Resuming Arab Palestine 2.
