Book Synopsis The EU, Hamas and the 2006 Palestinian Elections by : Catherine Charrett
Download or read book The EU, Hamas and the 2006 Palestinian Elections written by Catherine Charrett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses how institutional and diplomatic rituals shaped the European Union’s sanction of Hamas after the latter’s success in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections. Through a lens of performance and performativity it explains how socialisation and the duress of performative rituals shapes agency and prevents the possibility of being creative with policy initiatives when confronted with difficult decisions. Interviews with senior Hamas representatives, EU bureaucrats, members of the European External Action Service, and electoral observers from Palestine and Europe, in addition to ethnographic research in Gaza and in Brussels, recreate the details of the failed diplomacy between Hamas and the EU. The book explores the social and visual cultures and discourses that shape the recognition of contemporary subjects, and it presents Hamas’s response to being treated as a terrorist movement. It advances queer and postcolonial understandings of European-Palestinian political encounter by interrogating the bureaucratic and professional pressures that shape the political agency of EU civil servants and the recognition of Palestinian politics. This is a performative and interdisciplinary text; it juxtaposes empirical investigation, with critical theory, performance art and everyday experiences. It will appeal to students of International Relations, Interdisciplinary Studies, Middle-East Area Studies, Foreign Policy and Diplomacy Analysis and Gender Studies.

Book Synopsis EU Foreign Policy and Hamas by : Adeeb Ziadeh
Download or read book EU Foreign Policy and Hamas written by Adeeb Ziadeh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after the overwhelming victory of Hamas in the 2006 parliamentary and municipal elections, civil war broke out in the Gaza Strip between members of the two factions, Hamas and Fatah. The EU, along with the US, UN and Russia, not only gave its support to Fatah against Hamas, but also imposed a tough siege on the Hamas government in an attempt to force it to accept the Quartet’s political conditions, described by Hamas leaders as unfair and impossible. Many observers are convinced that the EU’s behaviour in this matter has been unreasonable and has conflicted with the EU’s own democratic beliefs and values. This book sheds light on the EU’s policies in Palestine mainly from 2003- 2013, and provides a thorough examination of the inconsistencies and paradoxes in the EU discourse towards Hamas, and the determinants underlying such contradictions. It explores the reasons behind the EU labelling the Hamas a terrorist organization and discusses why the EU has boycotted its democratically elected body since 2006. Significantly, the book looks at whether the EU jeopardized its reputation and contravened its core normative values and objectives (democracy promotion, human rights, the rule of law and fundamental freedoms) by such a categorisation of Hamas. Exploring the EU’s policy towards Hamas is vital for understanding how the relationship between the EU and the rest of the Islamists in the Middle East is perceived, as it enables both sides to have a cognitive basis upon which to construct better relations. This book, based upon a vast spread of primary EU documents and interviews, will therefore be a valuable resource for those studying the Arab Israeli conflict, Political Islamic movements, the Middle East Peace Process, and anyone with an interest in European Union Foreign Policy.

Book Synopsis Hamas in Politics by : Jeroen Gunning
Download or read book Hamas in Politics written by Jeroen Gunning and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2006, Hamas, an organisation classified by Western governments as terrorist, was democratically elected to govern the Palestinian territories. The inherent contradictions in this situation have left many analysts at a loss. Hamas uses terror tactics against Israel, yet runs on a law and order ticket in Palestinian elections; it pursues an Islamic state, yet holds internal elections; it campaigns for shar'iah law, yet its leaders are predominantly secular professionals; it calls for the destruction of Israel, yet has reluctantly agreed to honour previous peace agreements. In Hamas in Politics, Jeroen Gunning challenges the assumption that religion, violence and democracy are inherently incompatible and shows how many of these apparent contradictions flow from the interaction between Hamas' ideology, its local constituency and the nature of politics in Israel/Palestine. Drawing on interviews with members of Hamas and its critics, and a decade of close observation of the group, he offers a penetrating analysis of Hamas' own understanding of its ideology and in particular the tension between its dual commitment to 'God' and 'the people'. The book explores what Hamas' political practice says about its attitude towards democracy, religion and violence, providing a unique examination of the movement's internal organisation, how its leaders are selected and how decisions are made.
Download or read book Hamas written by Roberto Miguel Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book delves deep into the political landscape of Gaza, spotlighting HAMAS's journey from its origins to its role as a democratically elected governing body. It sheds light on the intricacies of Palestinian politics, the socio-economic factors that contributed to HAMAS's rise to power, and the subsequent implications for the Palestinian territories and broader Middle East politics. The narrative begins by exploring HAMAS's roots, charting its evolution from a socio-political movement in the 1980s to its armed resistance against Israel, and its designation as a terrorist organization by many countries. The book provides an in-depth examination of the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, a turning point where HAMAS secured a significant victory, transitioning from an opposition group to the dominant party in Gaza. Subsequent chapters analyze the challenges and dilemmas HAMAS faced in transitioning from a militant group to a governing body, including issues related to governance, service delivery, and international relations. The narrative also evaluates the consequences of the organization's dual role, both as a political party and as an armed faction, on the peace process and regional stability. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, from interviews with key stakeholders to archival research, "HAMAS: The Government Elected by Palestinians in Gaza" provides readers with a nuanced understanding of the complexities and challenges of Palestinian governance in Gaza. The book avoids taking a simplistic or partisan stance, aiming instead to present a balanced and informed account of HAMAS's political journey and its implications for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Book Synopsis Public Opinion and Political Response in Palestine by : Erika Schwarze
Download or read book Public Opinion and Political Response in Palestine written by Erika Schwarze and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2006 elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council, the first in which both Fatah and Hamas fielded candidates, resulted in a resounding victory for Hamas. Winning 74 out of the 132 seats (compared to Fatah s 45), Hamas election strategy had proved effective against Fatah s ineffectual campaign and failure to properly consider public opinion. Erika Schwarze offers here an in-depth examination of these two separate campaigns, and how Fatah s lack of responsiveness to the popular mood in the run-up to elections following Arafat s death and beyond, led to its defeat in spite of its considerable experience of electioneering. She analyses the conduct of Palestinian leadership during this critical period, exploring the reasons for Fatah s inability to prioritise responsiveness to public opinion, and providing insights into the movement s electoral prospects in the future and its chances of survival and revival."

Book excerpt: For the first time in its history, the Palestinian parliament is set to be led by Hamas, which the United States and European Union have designated a foreign terrorist organization. Although some lauded the generally free and fair election in January 2006, others criticized the outcome and accused Hamas of "hijacking" democracy. This report provides an overview of the new political realities in the West Bank and Gaza after the election, the challenges Fatah and Hamas face, and possible implications for U.S. policy.

Book Synopsis When Victory Is Not an Option by : Nathan J. Brown
Download or read book When Victory Is Not an Option written by Nathan J. Brown and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Arab world, Islamist political movements are joining the electoral process. This change alarms some observers and excites other. In recent years, electoral opportunities have opened, and Islamist movements have seized them. But those opportunities, while real, have also been sharply circumscribed. Elections may be freer, but they are not fair. The opposition can run but it generally cannot win. Semiauthoritarian conditions prevail in much of the Arab world, even in the wake of the Arab Spring. How do Islamist movements change when they plunge into freer but unfair elections? How do their organizations (such as the Muslim Brotherhood) and structures evolve? What happens to their core ideological principles? And how might their increased involvement affect the political system? In When Victory Is Not an Option, Nathan J. Brown addresses these questions by focusing on Islamist movements in Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, and Palestine. He shows that uncertain benefits lead to uncertain changes. Islamists do adapt their organizations and their ideologies do bend—some. But leaders almost always preserve a line of retreat in case the political opening fizzles or fails to deliver what they wish. The result is a cat-and-mouse game between dominant regimes and wily movements. There are possibilities for more significant changes, but to date they remain only possibilities.
Book Synopsis Palestine 2006, free and fair elections but a backlash for peace and democracy! by : Johannes Wild
Download or read book Palestine 2006, free and fair elections but a backlash for peace and democracy! written by Johannes Wild and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Thema: Frieden und Konflikte, Sicherheit, Note: 1,3, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Neubiberg (Professur für Internationale Politik und Konfliktforschung), Veranstaltung: Seminar "Globalisierung und Konflikte am Beispiel des Nahen Ostens", Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der frühere US-Präsident George W. Bush äußerte 2004 im Rahmen eines Gesprächs mit dem damaligen britischen Premierminister Tony Blair über die Entwicklung im Nahen Osten, "I've got great faith in democracies to promote peace. And that's why I'm such a strong believer that the way forward in the Middle East, the broader Middle East, is to promote democracy." Dies verdeutlicht die hohen Erwartungen, welche insbesondere die USA zu diesem Zeitpunkt in die Förderung der Demokratie als Staats- und Regierungsform im Nahen Osten gesetzt haben und lässt auch Rückschlüsse auf die Konfiguration der vom Nahost-Quartett im April 2003 vorgelegten Roadmap zu, die vom Ansatz "democracy now, peace later" geprägt ist. Die Äußerungen George W. Bushs resultieren auch aus der Überzeugung, dass "democracies do not go to war with one another. Thus building a democratic Palestinian state would buttress the peace process being undertaken by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)." Ganz im Sinne dieses Ansatzes waren dann auch die Wahlen zum Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) im Januar 2006, die von der internationalen Gemeinschaft wie auch Nahost-Experten als "fair and democratic elections" beurteilt wurden, was eine Fortsetzung der positiven Entwicklungen im Sinne der Herausbildung und Stabilisierung demokratischer Strukturen, inklusive positiver Rückkoppelungen auf den Friedensprozess mit Israel, durchaus realistisch erscheinen ließ. Über 4 Jahre nach den Wahlen stellt sich die Frage, ob diese Chance von den Palästinensern aber auch den weiteren am Nahost-Konflikt beteiligten Akteuren wie Israel oder den Mitgliedern des Naho
Book Synopsis The Necessity of Including Hamas in Any Future Peace Process and the Viabality of Doing So by : Peter Charles Maxwell Worthington
Download or read book The Necessity of Including Hamas in Any Future Peace Process and the Viabality of Doing So written by Peter Charles Maxwell Worthington and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2006, Hamas was victorious in the elections for the Palestinian Legislative Council. This development was met with consternation from the government of Israel, many western governments, and the United States government in particular. The Quartet on the Middle East, comprised of the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations, viewed Hamas' electoral victory through the lens of terrorism and took a correspondingly hard line, issuing an ultimatum and imposing sanctions for non-compliance. The Quartet's strategy towards Hamas indicates that they consider the movement to be what Stedman terms a 'total spoiler' -an ideological rigid organization that sees the world in all-or-nothing terms and consequently cannot be included in a successful peace process. In this paper, I argue that the assessment of Hamas as a total spoiler is erroneous, and in fact, the designation 'limited spoiler,' as defined by Stedman is actually more appropriate.
Book Synopsis Palestinian Elections, Finally by : Muriel Asseburg
Download or read book Palestinian Elections, Finally written by Muriel Asseburg and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: 2021 is shaping up to be a year of elections for the Palestinians, both in the Palestinian Territories and across the world. Three ballots are scheduled for the institutions of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO). It is still unclear whether they will all take place as planned. The PA elections certainly have an important role to play in integrating the younger generations in the Territories, restoring political accountability and reinstating democratic checks and balances. The elections to the Palestinian National Council - the PLO's parliament in exile - would be even more significant and a crucial step towards creating a representative organ and establishing the basis for an inclusive discussion about the liberation movement's future strategy and the role of the PA. The EU and its member states have been calling for years for the Palestinian leadership to revive the democratic process and overcome the Fatah/Hamas split. They should therefore not only support the elections with observers but also contribute actively to their being as free, fair and competitive as possible under the difficult circumstances

Download or read book Freedom in the World 2006 written by Freedom House and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 192 countries and a group of select territories are used by policy makers, the media, international corporations, and civic activists and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. Press accounts of the survey findings appear in hundreds of influential newspapers in the United States and abroad and form the basis of numerous radio and television reports. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.
