Press/Media: Press / Media

Description

The 25th anniversary of the Oslo Accords saw a number of reflections and analyses on the political and economic impacts the agreement had on Palestinian life and land. This anniversary is just one reason Michelle Pace and Somdeep Sen’s The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank: The Theatrics of Woeful Statecraft is timely and relevant. The purpose of this book is to examine the ways that various stakeholders make sense of the statecraft of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the face of the ongoing statelessness of the Palestinian people.
