Abstract The aim of this research is examining governmental turnover and its impact on the sustainability of public policy in the Palestinian context. We argue that the absence of a clear political program of governments and the absence of clear rules in professional and independent civil service allows Palestinian ministers to politicize the ministries they run, in addition to imposing their personal visions on different administrative levels, which makes the frequent turnover of governments and ministerial faces a challenge to the administrative level’s capability to create and implement sustainable public policies. We examined and compared through in-depth interviews the relationship between the political dimension of government formation and its surrounding considerations with the administrative executive dimension in Palestinian conditions. We concluded that professionals from most ministries think that frequent ministerial turnover usually has a negative impact on the sustainability of public policy while only respondents from three ministries stated that turnover could have a positive impact.

巴勒斯坦政府的换届及其对公共政策可持续性的部分影响

摘要这项研究的目的是在巴勒斯坦背景下研究政府更替及其对公共政策可持续性的影响。我们认为，缺乏明确的政府政治计划以及缺乏专业和独立的公务员制度中的明确规则，不仅使巴勒斯坦部长们可以将其运行的各部委政治化，而且将其个人愿景强加于不同的行政级别，这使得政府和部长级人员的任职面临着行政部门制定和实施可持续公共政策的能力的挑战。我们通过深入的访谈，研究并比较了政府组建的政治层面及其周围因素与巴勒斯坦条件下的行政执行层面之间的关系。
