In 2008, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad invited
international investors to the first-ever Palestine Investment
Conference, which was designed to jump-start the process of
integrating Palestine into the global economy. As Fayyad described
the conference, Palestine is "throwing a party, and the whole world
is invited." In this book Kareem Rabie examines how the conference
and Fayyad's rhetoric represented a wider shift in economic and
political practice in ways that oriented state-scale Palestinian
politics toward neoliberal globalization rather than a diplomatic
two-state solution. Rabie demonstrates that private firms,
international aid organizations, and the Palestinian government in
the West Bank focused on large-scale private housing development in
an effort toward state-scale economic stability and market
building. This approach reflected the belief that a thriving
private economy would lead to a free and functioning Palestinian
state. Yet, as Rabie contends, these investment-based policies have
maintained the status quo of occupation and Palestine's subordinate
and suspended political and economic relationship with Israel.
