"Dr. Kurz's analysis of the origins and evolutionary dynamics of the organizational change of the Palestinian Fatah is a unique contribution to both fields of political science and Middle Eastern politics. By virtue of proceeding beyond the descriptive and idiographic level of analysis, this book elucidates in a most compelling and impressive way the processes by which Fatah emerged as a significant actor on the Middle Eastern stage. These processes incorporated the gradual acquisition of intra-organizational, communal and international legitimacy." --Professor Abraham Ben-Zvi, Department of Government, Georgetown University, Washington DC; Department of Political Science, Tel Aviv University
"Anat Kurz has written a unique book whose relevance goes beyond its empirical setting. She, among all other scholars, understands that popular fronts are not simply emotional and violent expressions from frustrated political ambitions. She understands that such movements cannot be dismissed and relegated to the periphery of the state or civil society. She understands that in order to confront such movements, in order to live with them, co-opt them, diffuse them, or integrate them, it behoves us to understand their organizational dynamics. Anat Kurz, and Anat Kurz alone, has brought organizational analysis to these 21st century issues. She has combined historical knowledge with political theory, organizational theory, and years of experience to create a book which stands alone in its importance in showing that popular movements are, if nothing else, organizational phenomena. This is an ingeniously clever volume." --Samuel B. Bacharach, McKelvey-Grant Professor of Labor-Management Relations; Director, Institute for Workplace Studies; Director, Smithers Institute, Cornell University
"This is a welcome application of the analytical tools of social science - and of organizational theory more particularly - to explain the political and military behavior of the Palestinian national movement Fatah over nearly five decades. By focusing on Fatah's institutional development, and by situating its fluctuation between violent and non-violent strategies in different phases within this analytical context, Kurz takes us beyond the emotive and Manichean terminology of 'terrorism' to a clearer, hence more useful, understanding of popular struggles and the courses they take." --Professor Yezid Sayigh, Chair in Middle East Studies, Department of War Studies, Kings College London
