Description: Political Economy of Aid in Palestine : Relief from Conflict or Development Delayed?, Hardcover by Taghdisi-Rad, Sahar, ISBN 0415563259, ISBN-13 9780415563253, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Taghdisi-Rad (an economist with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) examines the mismatch between the high levels of foreign aid flows to the occupied territories of Palestine and the failure to achieve any significant economic progress. Utilizing a political economy approach, the volume argues that the neoclassical economics framework that serves as the basis of much donor funding fails to take into account the conflict realities of Israeli occupation, treating them instead as a temporary, exogenous factor and further argues that the political, strategic, and ideological interests of the donor are often the cause of the unwillingness of the donors to take into account these conflict realities and how they interact with the economy. A proper approach to assessing the relevance and effectiveness of foreign aid to Palestine, or any other economy impacted by conflict for that matter, should take conflict as the starting point of economic analysis because it is the dominant factor affecting the socio-economic structures of a country, its policy choices, and its future development trajectory.
