New Publication by Pal-Think for Strategic Studies: ” Palestinian Youth and the Future of Governance: From Marginalization to Political Agency
In light of the political transformations facing the Palestinian political system, particularly under the current circumstances following the recent war on the Gaza Strip, this paper discusses the issue of representation of youth within the governance structure. Although Palestinian society is predominantly young, pathways for political representation remain limited, especially in the absence of legislative elections since 2006. The paper discusses how this reality has widened the gap between decision-makers and youth generation. It also examines the structural conditions that hinder youth from moving from marginalization to meaningful political agency, and proposes a deep understanding of how participation and representation can be rebuilt in ways that reflect the social and demographic transformations within Palestinian society.
This paper is published as part of the project “Shared Vision for Democracy, Peace, and Prosperity” implemented by Pal-Think for Strategic Studies in partnership with the Consulate General of France in Jerusalem.
