Description
The Gulf War was a critical period in recent Palestinian history, and this essential book contains the papers delivered at a PASSIA seminar on various dimensions of the war. The academic orientation of the articles is a critical self-examination as well as an objective assessment of the developments taking place in the region and the Palestinian Territories. Articles are by Dr. Salim Tamari (The Next Phase: Problems of Transition); Dr. George Giacaman (What Next for the Palestinians?); Samir Huleileh (The Gulf Crisis and the Palestinian Economy: New Tasks and Challenges); Ibrahim Shaban (The Legal Dimension: The Impact of the Gulf Crisis on the Palestinian Cause); Dr. Helga Baumgarten (The PLO’s Political Program and the Gulf Crisis); Dr. Bernard
Sabella (Post-Gulf War Prospects: Assessing the Positions); and Dr. Mahdi Abdul Hadi (Post Gulf-War Assessment: A Palestinian Perspective).
