Abstract: The organizational structure of the Palestine Liberation Organization( PLO) has been developed,which can be explained at three levels: the objective system,the departmental system and the power system. That means the PLO has transformed from an organization that focuses on a single goal to a composite-targeted organization,has established a separate departmental framework for the separation of powers and has shifted its power from concentration to dispersion. In the long run,the transition of the PLO ’s organizational structure has a positive effect. However,the PLO still faces multiple constraints and becomes difficult to concentrate political resources,which will undermine its influence in Palestinian people and its role in Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. The overly large organizational system and the intricate internal contradictions also have hidden dangers of division of the PLO.
