The elections also constituted the first time Islamists had ascended to power in the Arab world by democratic means. But did Hamas proceed to govern in the same democratic manner it had displayed during these elections? Gaza Under Hamas scrutinizes the workings of the Hamas government, tracing how its governance in the domestic arena unfolded. Particular focus is placed on the ways in which the new government reacted to three key challenges to its power: the competitive political system and main opposition party; violent radicalisation and local splinter groups; the need to re-establish societal order and reform the judicial system. The analysis as it unfolds tells the story of an inexperienced but self- confident Hamas in government, that perceived itself to be working under the constant threat of a possible coup d'etat. In addition to the author's first-hand observations, analysis is based on interviews with a wide range of Palestinian political personalities in the Hamas government, as well as interviews with military commanders, internal security personnel and members of the Qassam Brigades. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmīyah.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n88280213 610 27 Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-Islāmīyah.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/654141 648 7 Since 1948|2fast 651 0 Palestine|xPolitics and government|y1948-|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85097182 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBrenner, Bjorn.|tGaza under Hamas.
