The Palestinian Economy (RLE Economy of Middle East): Studies in Development under Prolonged OccupationGeorge T. Abed This volume brings together the results of the symposium on ‘Economic Development under Prolonged Occupation’ held at Oxford University in January 1986.

The papers presented here reflect the wide range of thought on the issues surrounding the Palestinian Economy. |
