Based on extensive interviews with members of the "intifada generation," those who were between 10 and 18 years old when the intifada began in 1987, the book provides a detailed look at the intifada memories of ordinary Palestinians. These personal stories are presented as part of a complex and politically charged discursive field through which young Palestinians are invested with meaning by scholars, politicians, journalists, and other observers. What emerges from their memories is a sense of a generation caught between a past that is simultaneously traumatic, empowering, and exciting-and a future that is perpetually uncertain. In this sense, Collins argues that understanding the stories and the struggles of the intifada generation is a key to understanding the ongoing state of emergency for the Palestinian people. The book will be of interest not only to scholars of the Middle East but also to those interested in nationalism, discourse analysis, social movements, and oral history. 606 $aIntifada, 1987-1993$xInfluence 606 $aPalestinian Arabs$zWest Bank$xSocial conditions 606 $aPalestinian Arabs$zGaza Strip$xSocial conditions 606 $aYouth, Palestinian Arab$zWest Bank$xPolitical activity 606 $aYouth, Palestinian Arab$zGaza Strip$xPolitical activity 606 $aMemory$xPolitical aspects 606 $aMemory$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntifada, 1987-1993$xInfluence. 615 0$aPalestinian Arabs$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aPalestinian Arabs$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aYouth, Palestinian Arab$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aYouth, Palestinian Arab$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aMemory$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aMemory$xSocial aspects. 676 $a956.95/3044 700 $aCollins$b John$0428768 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449744903321 996 $aOccupied by memory$92470487 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03458 am 22005173u 450 001 9910153747203321 005 20230915195114.0 010 $a90-485-3082-2 024 7 $a10.5117/9789462980914 035 $a(CKB)3880000000044295 035 $a(OAPEN)619590 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36437 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30541625 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30541625 035 $a(DE-B1597)596494 035 $a(DE-B1597)9789048530823 035 $a(EXLCZ)993880000000044295 100 $a20191210d2015 uy 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmu#---auuuu 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Art of Audit.

Supreme Audit Institutions fulfil an exceptional role in the public domain, checking if governments spend their money properly. They are like 'watchdogs' for citizens and parliaments with the purpose of auditing public expenditure and examining the effectiveness of policies. They aim to strengthen the trustworthiness of government institutions, all the more so in fragile democracies. They do so, for instance, in striving to disclose cases of corruption, not just in the highest echelons of government, but also in everyday petty bribery. And they can be found counting houses, roads and water taps, to see if government's promises are being kept. On the occasion of the retirement of Saskia J. Stuiveling as the president of the Netherlands Court of Audit, eight (former) heads of audit institutions talk candidly about their work and innovations in the area of public auditing, about how the financial crisis affected their profession, about the advent of open data and about the need for new skills to audit the oil industry. Each of them - Faiza Kefi (Tunisia), Josef Moser (Austria), Terence Nombembe (South Africa), Heidi Mendoza (Philippines), Alar Karis (Estonia), David Walker (USA), John Muwanga (Uganda) and Abdulbasit Turki Saeed (Iraq) - has made a difference in his or her country, often under difficult, adverse and sometimes outright dangerous circumstances. 606 $aEconomics 610 $aeconomie 610 $aAudit 610 $aAuditor general 610 $aEstonia 610 $aGovernment Accountability Office 610 $aInternational Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions 610 $aIraq 615 0$aEconomics. 676 $a330 700 $aJanssen$b Roel$0916715 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153747203321 996 $aThe Art of Audit.
