    The Impact of Israel’s Separation Barrier on Affected West Bank Communities An update to the Humanitarian and Emergency Policy Group (HEPG) Construction of the Barrier, Access and its Humanitarian Impact 1 March 2004 In accordance with a decision of the HEPG, an update on the route of the Barrier access and its humanitarian impact will be released regularly. This report is intended to complement a series of more detailed analyses of the Barrier’s socio-economic impact. 1 Update includes information ending 7 March 2004. West Bank Barrier Update 7 March 2004 Report to the Humanitarian Emergency Policy Group (HEPG) and the Local Aid Coordination Committee (LACC) Introduction Motivated by concerns that Palestinian livelihoods and access to essential services would be harmed by the construction of the West Bank separation Barrier, the international donor community, through the Humanitarian Emergency Policy Group (HEPG), requested a number of updates on the impact of the Barrier. This monitoring report focuses on two key elements2. • An outline of the key developments in the construction and path of the Barrier up to 7 March; • A survey of access through the Barrier via the gates constructed by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) In June 2002 the Israeli Government commenced construction of the West Bank Barrier as a security measure to protect its citizens from Palestinian suicide attacks. While part of the Barrier lies on the 1949 Armistice or the Green Line, the bulk of the Barrier intrudes into the West Bank. The constructed Barrier is currently 182 km long and consists of fences, ditches, razor wire, groomed trace sands, electronic monitoring system, patrol roads, and a no-go buffer zone.

  • The Political Economy of the Second Palestinian Intifada Through the Lens of Dependency Theory and World Systems Analysis
    The Political Economy of the Second Palestinian Intifada through the Lens of Dependency Theory and World Systems Analysis By David Borzykowski A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2010 by David Borzykowski 1 Abstract In the midst of the chaos and the violence of civil-ethnic conflict, there is often little attention paid to the economic consequences which endure long past the moment of crisis. In conflicts that end in situations of prolonged occupation of one national group over another, complex and enduring dependencies tend to develop between occupier and occupied. Since the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1967, the Palestinian economy has grown highly dependent upon the Israeli economy and has developed within the confines of Israeli military power. When the second Palestinian Intifada (uprising) broke out in September 2000, the Palestinian economy suffered even more. This paper discusses the Palestinian economy through the framework of dependency theory and world systems analysis. Both theories are used in order to explain the complex relationship between Israel and the Palestinians and the relationship of dependence that has been perpetuated by Israel since the signing of the Oslo Agreement in 1993. i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor Dr. Tami Jacoby for all of her help and guidance over the years. I would also like to thank my parents, Brenda and Abe, and my brother and sister-in-law, Bryan and Lainie, for all the continued support and for always being there for me.
