Description: "The Politics of the Palestinian Authority (PA) maps the development of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from a liberation movement to a national authority. Utilizing extensive fieldwork, including interviews with leading figures in the PLO and the PA, the delegates to the negotiations with Israel, and the Palestinian political opposition, Nigel Parsons presents a timely analysis of the internal politics and institution building of the PA."--Jacket.
