The Palestinian Economy Under Occupation: Dependency and Pauperization
This article deals with the economy of those parts of Palestine which were occupied by Israel in June 1967, namely the West Bank and Gaza Strip,1 and attempts to identify and assess the overall economic impact of occupation to the present.

However, the depe…

Arab Oil Policies in the 1970's
Arab economic strategy in a changing world oil market
Introduction During the early 1980s, the international oil market has changed from a sellers' to a buyers' market, that is, from one where the producers-exporters largely determined the price for that volume of exports which the market was willing (and eager) to buy, to one in which the importers-consumers have been able to press the price downwards and are willing only to buy a much smaller volume for the reduced price, than they had been buying…

However, as we will have occasion to indicate further on, the population is not sparse if account is taken of the scarcity of water, the niggardliness of nature except for oil, the low level of economic perfor…

Entrepreneurs of Lebanon: The Role of the Business Leader in a Developing Economy
Development: The Visible or the Invisible Hand
The heightened interest of many economists in recent years in the subject of economic development has been accompanied by their recognition of the importance of the role of non-economic forces in the initiation and pursuit of development. The present article is an attempt to explore the power of some of these forces and the circumstances under which they operate. I shall give particular attention to nationalist ideology and leadership, owing to t…
