Alaa Tartir, Tariq Dana, and Timothy Seidel\u00a0(eds.),\u00a0<\/strong>Political Economy of Palestine: Critical, Interdisciplinary, and Decolonial Perspectives<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(<\/strong>Palgrave Macmillan, Middle East Today Series, 2021).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jadaliyya (J): What made you edit this book?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alaa Tartir, Tariq Dana, and Timothy Seidel (AT, TD & TS):<\/strong>\u00a0We believe making sense of the last quarter century in Palestine\u2014from the Oslo Accords, to US President Trump\u2019s \u201cdeal of the century,\u201d to the recent bilateral agreements normalizing relations between Israel and Arab states such as the United Arab Emirates\u2014requires a critical understanding of political economy that turns on the colonial question. We edited this volume with the goal of a deeper analysis of these regional and international developments provided by critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial perspectives. Attention to these factors also provided a focus on resistance as a critical political economy approach aids in the exploration of embodied forms of political subjectivity, especially in neoliberal, settler colonial contexts.<\/p>\n

J: What particular topics, issues, and literatures does the book address?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AT, TD & TS:\u00a0<\/strong>This volume argues that an approach to economics that does not consider the political\u2014a de-politicized economics\u2014is inadequate to understanding the situation in occupied Palestine. Including a conclusion by renowned political economist Sara Roy, the\u00a0contributions in this volume make the case that critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial perspectives provide a more robust framework and signal a commitment to a politics of solidarity with popular struggles in Palestine and around the world.\u00a0With particularly salient implications for peacebuilding and development,\u00a0Political Economy of Palestine<\/em>\u00a0details how ongoing events in the region demonstrate once again the failures of \u201ceconomic peace.\u201d It outlines a\u00a0critical interdisciplinary<\/em>\u00a0approach to political economy that 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\u00a0both\u00a0Israel\u00a0and global business, as well as\u00a0from Palestinian elites. It also explores a\u00a0decolonial<\/em>\u00a0approach to Palestinian political economy that 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.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
