In this ground-breaking and comprehensive study, Sara Roy examines in detail the political economy of the Gaza Strip since the Israeli occupation in 1967. Providing an historical context for Israeli economic policy, Roy argues that despite certain economic benefits that have accrued to the Gaza Strip as a result of its interaction with Israel, Israeli policy in the strip has been guided by political concerns that not only hindered, but blocked internal economic development. The first study of its kind to investigate fully Palestinian economic development in Gaza, The Gaza Strip is of great importance for not only economists and development specialists, but also scholars, policy makers and all those interested in Gaza.

The most comprehensive study on the economy of Gaza,

This review is from: The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-Development (Paperback)
This book is the most thorough analysis of the economy in the Gaza Strip that I have been able to find. I highly recommend it for those who seek more details than your average sources. Very well documented and referenced as well.

Ignore the Daniel Pipes review,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-Development (Paperback)
As usual, Pipes backs up his arguments with nothing save petulant diatribe. Roy's study of Gaza is first-rate and highly recommended by many scholars in the field. A very thoroughly investigated look at the Israeli governments slow destruction of infrastructure and economy within the Occupied Territories.

This review is from: The Gaza Strip: The Political Economy of De-Development (Paperback)
Although the information was dated, the flow of the information and specific data points were excellent. It sets an excellent foundation for today's current events and helps to provides a foundation for understanding what will probably occur in the very near future.
