The existing literature on the Israeli occupation is highly compartmentalized. Most works on the subject are written from a political or sociological standpoint. There are also some that focus on the so-called “economics of the occupation.” The Political Economy of Israel’s Occupation: Repression Beyond Exploitation, a newly released book by Shir Hever of the Alternative Information Center, differs from both genres: it sees the occupation not from a narrow perspective of a particular discipline, but from the broader vista of political economy.
