Through a lens of performance and performativity it explains how socialisation and the duress of performative rituals shapes agency and prevents the possibility of taking risks or being creative with policy initiatives when confronted with difficult decisions. Interviews with senior Hamas representatives, EU bureaucrats, members of the European External Action Service, and electoral observers from Palestine and Europe, in addition to ethnographic research in Gaza and in Brussels, recreate the details of the failed diplomacy between Hamas and the EU. The book explores the political discourses that shape the contemporary recognition of Hamas, and presents Hamas's response to being treated as a terrorist movement. Interrogating the bureaucratic and professional pressures that shape the political agency of EU diplomats and civil servants, it advances queer and postcolonial understandings of political encounters. The juxtaposition of empirical investigation with performance art and everyday experiences will appeal to students of International Relations, the Middle-East, Area Studies, Foreign Policy and Analysis. 610 20 $a HÄarakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyah. 610 27 $a HÄarakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00654141 651 0 $a Gaza Strip $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Elections $z Gaza Strip $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a European Union countries $x Foreign relations $z Gaza Strip. 651 0 $a Gaza Strip $x Foreign relations $z European Union countries. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Elections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00904324 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Europe $z European Union countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01269470 651 7 $a Gaza Strip. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240021 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Charrett, Catherine. $t Hamas, the EU and the Palestinian elections. $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2019 $z 9781315109015 $w (DLC) 2019014158 830 0 $a Interventions (Routledge (Firm)) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018023617.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E32920542DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
