Political Economy of Palestine

The book "Political Economy of Palestine" offers a comprehensive analysis of the political economy of Palestine from critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial perspectives. It argues that an economic view that ignores the political framework is insufficient to understand the complex situation in the occupied territory. Through a critical examination of neoliberal logics and structures, it demonstrates how the political economy of Palestine is shaped by processes of exploitation and dispossession from both Israeli actors and global corporations, as well as Palestinian elites. The book highlights the struggles against neoliberal and colonial policies and institutions, contributing to the defragmentation of Palestinian life and political economy, which have been exacerbated by the Oslo Accords. The chapters provide an in-depth contextualization of the Palestinian political economy and analyze themes such as integration, fragmentation, and inequality in a context without sovereignty.
