{"product_id":"foreign-aid-to-the-gaza-ahmed-tannira-9781785275708","title":"Foreign Aid to the Gaza Strip Between Trusteeship and De-Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the impact of aid to the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip from the 1993 Oslo Agreement up to 2013. It attempts to go beyond the general notion that the Israeli occupation is the main instrument of control and de-development and rather tries to investigate these aspects and the dynamics that have surrounded foreign aid delivery in the Territory. At the socio-economic level, the book explores how donors' definition of partner for peace has exacerbated socio-economic inequalities within the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. The book also looks at how foreign aid has been used as an instrument for particular groups to advance politically, and through this socially and economically. Hence, the book attempts to investigate the resultant socio-economic imbalances within Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book employs the concept of \u003cem\u003etrusteeship. \u003c\/em\u003eAccording to this concept, the book argues how aid agencies use development assistance to impose forms of control and governance over \u003cem\u003eunderdeveloped people\u003c\/em\u003e. The book also investigates how \u003cem\u003etrusteeship\u003c\/em\u003e works under the general assumption that development intervention is designed to a) assist underdeveloped people overcome their socio-economic problem; b) protect developed people from the \u003cem\u003esurplus people\u003c\/em\u003e (underdeveloped) who are perceived as a threat to the developed world, thus required development intervention. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also explores the extension of control over the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip by examining foreign aid delivery through the Palestinian Authority, the NGO sector, and UNRWA. It proposes that the 'partner for peace' paradigm essentially used to govern the relationship between Western doors and the Palestinian Authority demonstrates that the Palestinian Authority had to fulfil security interests that best serve the interests of Israel rather than the Palestinians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ahmed Tannira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785275704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785275708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Ahmed Tannira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982851244287,"sku":"9781785275708","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e48729b1-ef52-4070-9099-20ce97407665.jpg?v=1683263351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foreign-aid-to-the-gaza-ahmed-tannira-9781785275708","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
