Based on groundbreaking fieldwork, interviews with Palestinian leaders, and an extensive survey of Arabic-language writings and documents, Palestinian Politics after the Oslo Accords presents the meaning of state building and self-reliance as Palestinians themselves have understood them in the years between 1993 and 2002.Nathan J. Brown focuses his work on five areas: legal development, constitution drafting, the Palestinian Legislative Council, civil society, and the effort to write a new curriculum. His book shows how Palestinians have understood efforts at building institutions as acts of resumption rather than creation-with activists and leaders seeing themselves as recovering from an interrupted past, Palestinians seeking to rejoin the Arab world by building their new institutions on Arab models, and many Palestinian reformers taking the Oslo Accords as an occasion to resume normal political life. Providing a clear and urgently needed vantage point on most of the issues of Palestinian reform and governance that have emerged in recent policy debates-issues such as corruption, constitutionalism, democracy, and rule of law-Brown's book helps to put Palestinian aspirations and accomplishments in their proper context within a long and complex history and within the larger Arab world. 606 $aNation-state 606 $aPalestinian Arabs$xPolitics and government$y1993- 607 $aPalestinian National Authority 610 $a20th century. 610 $aarab israeli conflict. 610 $aarab national models. 610 $aarab palestine. 610 $aarab world. 610 $aconstitutionalism. 610 $afieldwork. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory buffs. 610 $ainsider perspective. 610 $ainterviews. 610 $alegal development. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $anation building. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aoslo accords. 610 $apalestine. 610 $apalestinian legislative council. 610 $apalestinian politics. 610 $apalestinian reformers. 610 $apolitical perspective. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apolitics. 610 $asocial activists. 610 $atextbooks. 610 $aworld politics. 615 0$aNation-state. 615 0$aPalestinian Arabs$xPolitics and government 676 $a956.95/3054 700 $aBrown$b Nathan J$0661390 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822157403321 996 $aPalestinian politics after the Oslo accords$93921451 997 $aUNINA
