In the 55th episode of Governance Uncovered, we sit down with Diana Greenwald to talk about her book "Mayors in the Middle - Indirect Rule and Local Government in Occupied Palestine," which will be published by Columbia University Press in May 2024.
Host Ellen Lust and Diana start by talking about what initially made Diana interested in Palestine and local governance in the West Bank.
They then discuss the book itself, considering the dynamics of local self-government in the Palestinian West Bank. Diana argues that the system of Israeli indirect rule, particularly its emphasis on local policing, and the political affiliations of Palestinian mayors shape their governance strategies and outcomes.
The episode ends with a discussion about how Diana's book might help us better understand the current levels of conflict in Gaza and the West Bank.
