Since the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Occupied Palestinian Territory has
been the subject of extensive international peacebuilding and
statebuilding efforts coordinated by Western donor states and
international finance institutions. Despite their failure to yield
peace or Palestinian statehood, the role of these organisations in
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is generally overlooked owing to
their depiction as tertiary actors engaged in technical missions.
In Palestine Ltd., Toufic Haddad explores how neoliberal frameworks
have shaped and informed the common understandings of
international, Israeli and Palestinian interactions throughout the
Oslo peace process. Drawing upon more than 20 years of policy
literature, field-based interviews and recently declassified or
leaked documents, he details how these frameworks have led to
struggles over influencing Palestinian political and economic
behaviour, and attempts to mould the class character of Palestinian
society and its leadership. A dystopian vision of Palestine emerges
as the by-product of this complex asymmetrical interaction, where
nationalism, neo-colonialism and `disaster capitalism' both
intersect and diverge. This book is essential for students and
scholars interested in Middle East Studies, Arab-Israeli politics
and international development.
