| Abstract

This dissertation examines the art of government on the part of the Israeli Municipality in Jerusalem by tracking its rationalization and implementation from the beginning of the occupation in June 1967 until the breakout of the first Palestinian <i>intifada</i> in December 1987. I argue that local policymakers assumed a uniqueness to the history and sociality of Jerusalem and posited a primordial set of political and cultural traditions among Palestinian residents. These preconceptions encouraged them to develop a particular structure for local government and concomitant blueprint for social/administrative relations. Architects of these policies were Mayor Theodore “Teddy” Kollek and an allied group of municipal functionaries who variously identified their policies as “national-pluralist,” “bi-cultural,” and “mosaic” oriented. They believed that an approach towards consolidating political power in Jerusalem that catered to ancient urban forms and norms would stabilize the occupation over time and cultivate cordial social relations between Jews and Arabs. While concern over international scrutiny towards the Israeli occupation was a factor behind the conceptualization of an administrative model emphasizing accommodation, cultural exchange, and “liberalizing” trends, my dissertation will stress how Kollek’s vision was considered in itself to be an ethnographically sound and humane strategy toward the civic incorporation of Palestinian residents and the procurement of consent to Israeli domination. My dissertation examines the colonial taxonomy informing Kollek’s vision as well as its materialization through a network of institutions and the ways in which it impacted forms of Palestinian engagement with the post-1967 political reality.
