Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-7453-3093-2 0-7453-3094-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. 227-237) and index.This book contradicts the dominant myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. It highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Contrary to public perception, new political trends in the Palestinian Territories bolster prospects for the realisation of Palestinian national aspirations. Michael Broning identifies key indicators which fundamentally question dominant Israeli narratives and pose an unprecedented strategic challenge to the Israeli leadership. These include the re-invention of Hamas, the reform of the Fatah movement, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's state-building efforts and the surge of non-violent resistance against Israel. This persuasive book forces us to reconsider the perceived wisdom that the Palestinians are powerless to influence events as they struggle for peace.NonviolencePalestinePeace-buildingPalestineArab-Israeli conflict1993-PalestinePolitics and government21st centuryElectronic books.NonviolencePeace-buildingArab-Israeli conflict956.053Bröning Michael917242MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456668303321The politics of change in Palestine2056413UNINA
