The PLO Charters of 1964 and 1968 and the Hamas Charter of 1988: A Comparative Study (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783640337330)

Scientific Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Near East, Near Orient, language: English, abstract: Palestinian struggle stood on different ideological platforms. After 1948, it was an articulation of Pan-Arabism. Following the 1967 war, it has been represented by a nationalist territorial vision under the banner of revolutionary struggle. In the late 1980s, the Palestinian Hamas presented an Islamist territorial platform that was antagonistically opposed to secularism. Through the scope of the PLO Charter of 1964, its amendment of 1968 and the Hamas Charter of 1988, this paper examines different visions of Palestinian struggle and explores how they developed. The conclusion offers a brief assessment of the driving forces behind them.
