Focus Groups in Palestinian Refugee Camps of Lebanon
No full textThis record is comprised of a series of four focus groups of roughly four hours each held between March and May 2009 in the Palestinian refugee camps of Nahr al-Bared and Beddawi in northern Lebanon and ‘Ayn al-Hilweh in southern Lebanon (for camp demographics, see Ugland 2003: 219–230; UNRWA 2008). The focus groups consisted of 61 adult Palestinians of diverse age, gender, relative socio-economic status, religiosity, political affiliation, and professional and educational backgrounds.
Altogether, the focus groups included 23 females (38 per cent) and 38 males (62 per cent). Twenty-one participants were from Nahr al-Bared (34 per cent),
22 were from Beddawi (36 per cent), and 18 were from ‘Ayn al-Hilweh (30 per cent). One focus group was made up of 18 Palestinians between the ages
of 18 and 24, all of whom resided in the Nahr al-Bared or Beddawi camps.
In the convening of each session, the authors sought representation from as many significant political and religious organizations within the community
as possible. In attendance were members or representatives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), Fatah, Hamas, the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine–General Command (PFLP–GC), the Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), Islamic Jihad, the Vanguard for the Popular Liberation War (Al-Sa‘iqa), the Association of Palestinian Religious Scholars,
the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the Nahr al-Bared Reconstruction Committee (NBRC), the Palestinian Women’s Union, the
Palestinian Youth Organization, the Palestinian Scout Association, and the popular and security committees of each camp, among others. Participants
were selected based on their potential to represent others in their community and for their ability to speak to a carefully prepared series of questions
related to the topics of conflict prevention and governance

Arab Barometer Wave I, 2006-2009
No full textIn its first phase, the Arab Barometer (AB) carried out nationally representative Democracy Barometer surveys in Morocco, Algeria, Kuwait, Palestine (West Bank and Gaza), Jordan, Lebanon and Yemen during 2006, 2007 and 2008. The Arab Reform Initiative (ARI) also conducted its own first wave of national surveys in four countries, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Morocco, in 2006-2008. These surveys, conducted through face-to-face interviews, included questions on a wide range of topics pertaining to governance, political life and political, social and cultural values. A total of some 10,000 respondents were interviewed. Following the public release of the AB survey data in 2009, the Arab Barometer was designated as the best new data in comparative politics by the American Political Science Association. Professor Mark Tessler of the University of Michigan and Professor Amaney Jamal of Princeton University accepted this prestigious award on behalf of the Arab Barometer Steering Committee
