Winning 74 out of the 132 seats (compared to Fatah s 45), Hamas election strategy had proved effective against Fatah s ineffectual campaign and failure to properly consider public opinion. Erika Schwarze offers here an in-depth examination of these two separate campaigns, and how Fatah s lack of responsiveness to the popular mood in the run-up to elections following Arafat s death and beyond, led to its defeat in spite of its considerable experience of electioneering. She analyses the conduct of Palestinian leadership during this critical period, exploring the reasons for Fatah s inability to prioritise responsiveness to public opinion, and providing insights into the movement s electoral prospects in the future and its chances of survival and revival."--Bloomsbury publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of modern Middle East studies ;$v182. 606 $aPolitical campaigns$zPalestine 606 $aPublic opinion$zPalestine 606 $aElections & referenda$2BIC 607 $aPalestine$xPolitics and government$y1948- 615 0$aPolitical campaigns 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 7$aElections & referenda. 676 $a324.956940511 686 $a324.95694055$223 700 $aSchwarze$b Erika$01247585 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154895503321 996 $aPublic opinion and political response in Palestine$92892038 997 $aUNINA
