Abstract

This article explores debates within Palestinian civil society literature covering the post-Oslo state-building period and developments within Palestinian civil society itself. The main themes within Palestinian civil society scholarship, how Palestinian civil society has mobilized to challenge the prevailing state-building framework and what questions this raises for the future of the national movement are outlined.
