Description
One focus of PASSIA’s Civil Society Empowerment project was Promoting Good Governance. Combining both research and workshops, the project aimed to assist in the search for good governance practices that will help promote the adherence of the public sector to democratic values and foster respect of the rule of law in the emerging Palestinian state through initiating a constructive dialogue with national and foreign actors. This book contains the proceedings and recommendations of the four subprograms – the Rule of Law, Democracy & Democratization, De centralization & Local Government,
and State-Society Relations – with regard to Palestinian society and offers an assessment of the tasks and priorities ahead. The analytical-descriptive part of this booklet is followed by a selected bibliography for each of the above topics and a comprehensive web-guide offering further research recommendations for all those interested in the subject matter.
