Political Economy of Palestine (eBook, PDF)

Critical, Interdisciplinary, and Decolonial Perspectives

Redaktion: Tartir, Alaa; Seidel, Timothy; Dana, Tariq

Beschreibung

This book explores the political economy of Palestine through critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial perspectives, underscoring that an approach to economics that does not consider the political-a de-politicized economics-is inadequate to understanding the situation in occupied Palestine. A critical interdisciplinary approach to political economy challenges prevailing neoliberal logics and structures that reproduce racial capitalism, and explores how the political economy of occupied Palestine is shaped by processes of accumulation by exploitation and dispossession from both Israel and global business, as well as from Palestinian elites. A decolonial approach to Palestinian political economy foregrounds struggles against neoliberal and settler colonial policies and institutions, and aids in the de-fragmentation of Palestinian life, land, and political economy that the Oslo Accords perpetuated, but whose histories of de-development over all of Palestine can be traced back for over a century. The chapters in this book offer an in-depth contextualization of the Palestinian political economy, analyze the political economy of integration, fragmentation, and inequality, and explore and problematize multiple sectors and themes of political economy in the absence of sovereignty.

Rezensionen

"The volume Political Economy of Palestine is not only a comprehensive account offering diverse analytical perspectives, but also a starting point for further thinking about how a 'political economy of resistance' leading to a Palestinian society free from occupation and exploitation could practically look like." (René Wildangel, The International Spectator, Vol. 58 (2), 2023)

"This collection is a valuable contribution to the scholarly literature on Palestinian political economy and the complex characteristics and consequences of interminable occupation." (Rex Brynen, The Middle East Journal, Vol. 76 (1), 2022)
