Relying on a substantial corpus of primary sources, this study illustrates how the PFLP?s political agency contributed to its own marginalisation within the Palestinian national movement. Following the 1982 eviction of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) from Lebanon, the bases of the PFLP?s opposition to Fatah?s primacy in the national movement were jeopardised. This book argues that the PFLP?s «loyalty» to the PLO institutional and political framework prevented the formulation of a real counterhegemonic political project. This drove the PFLP?s action to suffer a fundamental contradiction undermining its stance within the national movement. In the attempt to continue its opposition to Fatah, while maintaining integration in the Palestinian mainstream, the PFLP?s agency fluctuated, compromising its effectiveness and credibility. Apparently irreversible, the PFLP?s marginalisation is a factor fostering the current Palestinian impasse, as no alternative is emerging to break the thirteen-year long Hamas-Fatah polarisation. 606 $aPeace 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911160 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 606 $aPolitical Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911230 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 606 $aPeace Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912070 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aPeace Studies. 676 $a303.34 700 $aLeopardi$b Francesco Saverio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064320 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411948903321 996 $aThe Palestinian Left and Its Decline$92537388 997 $aUNINA
