The Political Economy of Aid in Palestine: Relief from Conflict or Development Delayed?

This book examines the nature of donor operations in Palestine and questions the viability of aid as an instrument of 'economic development' in conflict zones. It highlights the political and ideological determinants of aid allocation and effectiveness, arguing that aid to Palestine cannot bring about significant improvement as long as the Palestinian economy is fundamentally affected by Israeli occupation, settlement and blockade.
