Symposium on Political Economy of Occupation, Colonialism, and Conflict in Palestine

This panel draws on contributions to the symposium Political Economy of Occupation, Colonialism, and Conflict in Palestine published in the Review of Radical Political Economics.

• Ibrahim Shikaki examines the complex dynamics of settler colonialism in “Functional Distribution of Income in Palestine: Relevance, Measurement, and Political Economy Implications.”
• Jennifer Olmstead will speak on “US Militarism and Sisyphian ‘Aid’ to Israel/Palestine,” which shows how the structure of international aid perpetuates rather than resolves structural inequalities.
• Shir Hever, in “Shutdown Nation: The Political Economy of Self-Destruction,” argues that current developments mark the beginning of the end of the Zionist project.
