Description
Hamas in Politics: Democracy, Religion, Violence offers a thought-provoking analysis of the Islamist party's evolution and structure. Jeroen Gunning challenges common assumptions about religion, violence, and democracy, exploring how Hamas' ideology interacts with its local constituency and the nature of politics in Israel/Palestine. Through interviews with members of Hamas and its critics, as well as a decade of close observation, Gunning provides a penetrating examination of the movement's internal organisation, leadership selection, and decision-making processes. This unique study sheds light on the tension between Hamas' dual commitment to 'God' and 'the people', revealing the complexities of its political practice. By exploring what Hamas' politics say about its attitude towards democracy, religion, and violence, this book offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most contentious issues in modern politics.
