This book takes a comprehensive look at the PLO, examining its
origins, legal status, goals, and strategies. Jamal R. Nassar
investigates the PLO's role in regional and international politics
and unveils the dynamics of the power relationships responsible for
the organization's successes and failures. The book discerns
patterns and trends in the PLO's activities and studies the
conditions under which these patterns and trends develop. Nassar
places the PLO in a global perspective, delving into the basis of
the organization's legitimacy and its prospects for participation
in the peaceful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The book's
organization and comprehensive coverage--beginning with a thorough
historical background of the Palestinian experience--make it an
excellent study for the student of Middle Eastern politics.
Nassar probes the rise of the PLO to its present position as a
major actor in the Middle East--one that is no less significant
than a number of sovereign states. He shows that the PLO is a
complex power that cannot hope to achieve its objectives
independently of other regional powers but can prevent these powers
from resolving the Arab-Israeli dispute. The book outlines the many
peace initiatives that have been foiled by the PLO and reveals how
Israel's refusal to talk to the PLO will likely thwart the
achievement of peace. Students and scholars of Middle East and
Palestinian politics, the Arab-Israeli conflict, terrorism,
political ideologies, revolutionary movements, transnational
politics, and contemporary history will find Jamal Nassar's book on
the PLO an invaluable resource.
