Description :
Top-down models of autonomy indicate a devolution of power within the existing state structure. Bottom-up models of autonomy reflect a struggle for full self-determination and new state formation. Israeli and Palestinian territorial discourses reflect their respective power orientations in that the former discusses only autonomy while the latter focuses on statehood. The contradictory discourses moved to positions in which each has been prepared to compromise over parts of the territory.
