dc.description.abstractThis paper proposes a ‘constitutional’ alternative to the current conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. Through an engagement with a particular branch of liberal political theory – Richard Flathman’s ‘wilful liberalism’ – the paper proposes how strengthening legislatures rather than relying on judiciaries is central to the conflict. This proposal seeks to ensure that the nature of equality is protected in the region by encouraging citizens to be more actively engaged in their political lives through the creation of robust legislatures. Rather than seek to reinforce the existing legislative structures alone, however, the paper proposes how a transnational legislative structure might not only protect and empower individuals it might also help to lessen the conflict in the region. The paper is largely one of constitutional theory rather than empirical detail, though by setting out this alternative, it hopes to contribute to those seeking alternatives to the currently stalemated conflict
