This study provides a conceptual and empirical analysis of the
processes of social, elonomic and political change in ruzval Falestine

to scholarly work on change and development and fill a gap in the
current literature on Palestine.

process was mediated by a number of forces, the most important of
which vere the colonial government, the influx of capital and the
influx of European Jewish settlers. These forces are investigated,
their relationship with each other identified, and their impact on the
Palestinian indigenous population analysed.

‘land transfer' and impact of Jewlsh settlement on the indigenous
