Reviews
“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)
“This edited volume is a comprehensive catalogue of development and politics of contemporary Palestine. The 14 chapters, written by well-established as well as young scholars of various disciplines … . The book covers a wide range of subjects with empirically rich in-depth analysis … . The book extensively documents, contextualizes, and analyses Palestinian politics and development … . It challenges existing simplifications and misconceptions. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Palestine, Israel, politics, and development.” (Kjersti G Berg, Journal of Peace Research, September 20, 2021)
