| Summary/Abstract |
Courts were commonly regarded as a neutral arena to settle disputes between rivals who cannot solve their differences through other means of dispute resolution. In recent years however, greater attention is drawn to the role played by courts within the political process itself. This article sets out to examine the role of public litigation in the Israeli High Court of Justice as a vehicle of political participation. We will argue that the Court has become an avenue for: a) participation in decision-making processes, b) communication with official authorities, and c) protestation against these very same authorities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Rule of law is usually analyzed exclusively in reference to domestic peace within the political entity. Yet, establishing a powerful independent legal system can have a major impact on peaceful relations between political entities. This article evaluates the Palestinian Authority's performance in creating democratic and legal institutions from its inception in the summer of 1994 until the outbreak of the armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in September 2000. Three potential explanations drawn from the literature on state formation are evaluated in explaining the outcome: the foreign intervention thesis blames the failure on the asymmetry of power between Israel and the PLO; the domestic structural claim is that the weakness of the legal system stems from the unwillingness of the ruler to limit his power; and the cultural argument claims that only Anglo-Saxon and European states are truly liberal and democratic. The findings show that the quest for power led to centralization of authority in the executive, despite valiant attempts by politicians and civil society to avert such an outcome, and the article identifies the types of obstacles that need to be overcome to transform the Palestinian entity into a democratic reality that would promote peaceful coexistence with its neighbors.
