Overview: This paper shows the Arab world a deferent kind of politics, one that avoids the authoritarian, unaccountable, and highly centralized practices prevailing in the region, but it has failed to build the institutions to give this politics full substance. The logic of the PA?s origins led it to develop in an authoritarian direction. It was built on foundations that were not designed to answer to the local population in any way. And the international agreements that allowed the PA to form-the Oslo Accords-were predicated on the ability of the PA to enhance Israeli security and thus focused on enabling the executive and placing few fetters on the security services in internal matters.
