Abstract
ABSTRACTAnti-Western feelings in the Arab world and the role of exposure to the West: rethinking connections through public opinion. Territory, Politics, Governance. Anti-Western feelings in the Arab Middle East are reported as if they are a defining characteristic of the region, even without proper contextualization. This paper empirically explores what causes such sentiments to emerge and deepen in some contexts. This study is focused on the views of Palestinians (2013 public opinion survey, N = 832) towards Western states and societies. Informed by empirical data, it provides a theoretical framework explaining how anti-Western feelings are conceived, and how they evolve under different conditions. It also examines the role of travel, and family connections, in addition to exposure to the West through the Internet in acquiring sentiments towards and about the West.
