  • This class will focus on developments in institutional governance in the occupied Palestinian territories and the development of post-Oslo institutional arrangements. Key foci will include how the institutionalization of Palestinian politics has served to undermine political pluralism while entrenching authoritarianism and the Israeli occupation, the shrinking space for civil society and its ability to hold leaders to account, the role of patronage and factionalism in the governance of the territories, youth movements and the issue of succession.
