Hamas and Palestine: The Contested Road to Statehood - Paperback

by Martin Kear (Author)

This book moves away from the securitised interpretation of the political behaviour of Hamas. Instead it provides a holistic analysis of Hamas's decision to participate in the 2006 elections, its performance in government, its coalition building efforts with Fatah, and its efforts to build regional alliances.
