In the third volume of The Market and the Oikos, Hans Derks examines the transformative 30-year period from 1918 to 1948 in Palestine, situating it within the broader context of the decline of Western imperial power and the dissolution of the British Empire. Following World War I, the British Empire sought to reassert its influence in the East, with particular emphasis on the Middle East due to the strategic importance of the Suez Canal and newly discovered oil resources.
The author analyzes the complex interplay of British colonial policies, the Zionist settler movement, and evolving geopolitical alliances. This volume offers a nuanced exploration of the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the long-lasting legacies of colonialism. It provides a critical examination of the geopolitics of the early 20th century, highlighting the significant global consequences of the collapse of imperial powers.
