In: Routledge studies on the Arab-Israeli conflict, 4

Abstract

"Palestinian Civil Society examines the development of civil society in the Arab Middle East and the impact of western donors, with particular reference to the Palestinian case. Looking at the evolution of Palestinian civil society organizations from sociological, historical, legal and institutional perspectives, the book sheds light on the involvement of donors in Palestine, and the effect that aid has had on Palestinian civil society at a social, political and ideological level." "Accessible to non-specialists, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, Middle Eastern studies and development studies."--Jacket
