Mo(ve)ments of Resistance: Politics, Economy and Society in Israel/Palestine, 1931-2013
In Israel’s Political Economy, Lev Grinberg summarizes his own work and that of other political economists, providing a coherent historical narrative since the beginning of Socialist Zionism (1904) until the Oslo Accords and the neo-liberalization of the economy (1994-1996). Combining eventful sociology, path dependency and institutional political economy, the book argues that historical political events have been shaped not only by political and economic forces but also by resistance struggles of marginal and weaker social groups: organized workers, Palestinians and Mizrachi Jews. Major historical turning points in history, such as the Separation War in 1948, the military occupation in 1967, and the Oslo peace process in 1993, are explained in the context of previous social and economic resistance struggles that affected the political outcomes.
