There is an immense quantity of literature available on the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza. The task of the overview report is to evaluate where the gaps are in the literature that pertain to civil society and that can be closed through research in the context of the CSI project methodologies. Ultimately in the final country report, directions for future research on the role of civil society in Palestine will be suggested. The overview report is a working document as it will be updated and enhanced throughout the course of the project as there is a plethora of available secondary data. The paper investigates the literature on Palestinian civil society produced in and outside of Palestine through an exploration of the structure of the four dimensions and associated guiding indicators defined by CIVICUS for this project.
