According to Professor Fawaz Gerges from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) Palestine and Rule of Power brings together “an impressive list of scholarly and intellectual talents”, and “offers a rich menu of food for thought.” Author Nathan Thrall describes the book as “a deep and unconventional analysis by cutting edge scholars”. Professor Virginia Tilley argues that through rigorous and bold new theorizing this book “has a place in any core library on theory of the Palestinian Israeli conflict”, and Professor Richard Falk asserts that Palestine and Rule of Power is “an extraordinary confirmation of the vitality and resilience of the Palestinian people”.
The book explores how the rule of power relates to the case of occupied Palestine, examining features of local dissent and international governance. The project considers expressions of the rule of power in two particular ways: settler colonialism and neoliberalism. As power is always accompanied by resistance, the authors engage with and explores forms of everyday resistance to the logics and regimes of neoliberal governance and settler colonialism.
