69. Dana El Kurd on Palestinian Authoritarianism and Protest

My guest today is Dana El Kurd, an Assistant Professor in Political Science at the University of Richmond in Virginia, who works on authoritarian regimes in the Arab world, state-society relations in these countries, and the impact of international intervention. In 2020, she published the book Polarized and Demobilized: Legacies of Authoritarianism in Palestine with Oxford University Press. Today, we will speak about authoritarianism in the Arab world as well as Palestinian opposition to both Israeli occupation and Palestinian authoritarianism.
