WPR Feature: Palestine, From the Ground Up

We have just published our latest feature report, Palestine, From the Ground Up. See below for details and links.


Summary: With the Palestinian Liberation Organization poised to seek U.N. recognition for a Palestinian state later this month, the political obstacles to such a move have been in the spotlight. Less attention has been paid to the concrete features of an eventual Palestinian state. Are Palestinian governmental institutions prepared for sovereignty? What are the possibilities for economic development in a state of Palestine? And beyond the conflicting myths and narratives of return, what are the prospects for reintegrating Palestinian refugees?
