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. Drawing on Arabic texts,
political theory and a detailed survey of donors and local
organizations, this book challenges culturalist views that there
cannot be a 'vibrant civil society' in the Arab world and examines
the issues of depoliticization of civil society, the rise of the
Islamist sector, and the gradual defeat of the left in the Occupied
Territories. The author looks at how the interaction between donors
and NGOs is not only centred on a western model of civil society,
but also evolves around institutional mechanisms and disciplinary
discourses, affecting the ability of local NGOs to adapt to the
institutional requirements set by international donors. Accessible
to non-specialists, this book will be of interest to students and
scholars of sociology, Middle Eastern studies and development
studies.
