Abstract

This research traces the evolution of Palestinian thinking during the past twenty-five years. It explains how Palestinian nationalism emerged as an independent force in the Middle East in the form of the Palestine National Council, the PLO's "parliament in exile". Its analysis of the resolutions adopted at the PNC's annual meetings makes it clear how the new Palestinian consensus, involving the recognition of Israel and other important changes, has been reached.
