Imagining Economic Liberation in Palestine: Challenges and Opportunities

Volume 13|Issue 49| Summer 2024 |Articles

Abstract

This study explores the meaning of Palestinian economic liberation and the means to achieve it moving forward. It argues that a liberated Palestine is achieved by decolonizing the economic relations and setter colonial structures of domination that have been reformulated between Israelis and Palestinians over the past seventy-five years. It is to be achieved by moving away from pure consumerism as a means to generate growth and focusing instead on the individual and collective rights to freedom from poverty and debt. The study gives specific attention to changes in Israeli-Palestinian labour relations, trade and capital flows, and the role of economic resistance, including BDS, in undermining colonialism and imagining Palestinian economic liberation.
