The Palestine Center

While many have looked into the effect of U.S. foreign policy on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in general, the role of U.S. policy in internal Palestinian politics and the current divide between the two largest parties in the Palestinian political spectrum has been under discussed. What role has U.S. policy played in the inter-Palestinian divide? Does this help or hurt the long-term stated goal of American policy? Is it time for the US to reevaluate its policy based on these effects? Join us for a discussion of these issues with Dr. Nathan Brown.

Dr. Nathan Brown is Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University. In 2009 he was selected as a Carnegie Scholar by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to analyze the impacts of increased participation by Islamist groups in electoral politics on both the movements themselves and the political systems in which they operate. Dr. Brown is the author of several books including Palestinian Politics After the Oslo Accords: Resuming Arab Palestine (2003).
