Edited Volume builds on sociologist Sara Roy's concept of 'de-development' to examine how Israeli occupation has systematically destroyed Palestinian economic capacity. Further, chapters examine how the post-Oslo aid regime has deepened, rather than reversed, this destruction. Contributors analyze donor conditionality, PA governance, and the structural political economy of Palestinian underdevelopment from Gaza, to the West Bank, to East Jerusalem, amongst Palestinian citizens of Israel, to Palestinian refugees ethnically cleansed from historic Palestine. Recommended for political economists and development scholars building on Sara Roy's de-development framework, examining how donor aid and Palestinian Authority governance have deepened Palestinian economic vulnerability.
