Abstract

[This chapter investigates whether Israeli structural superiority, its more developed productive capacity, entrenches dependency and causes migration from the West Bank. While Israel controls most of the trade with the occupied territories, its direct investment in the West Bank is minimal; save lucrative security spending or investment in militarism. That being the case, to prove that Israeli tech-advance alone peripheralizes the West Bank, I need to explain how penetration/permeation of Israeli commodities into the West Bank, these products of economies of scale, disengage or upgrade its old industries or raise agricultural productivity. Examining this hypothesis hinges on gauging the resilience of the West Bank’s national sectors without consideration of the disruptions of the politics of occupation. The findings are structural and trade-induced peripheralization do not significantly reallocate Arab labour.]
