Settlement projects are sustained clusters of policies that allow states to strategically plan, implement and support the permanent transfer of nationals into a territory not under their sovereignty. Ehud Eiran explains why states launch settlement projects into occupied areas and introduces the international environment as an important enabling variable. By drawing comparisons between three such major projects – Israel in the West Bank and Gaza, Morocco in Western Sahara and Indonesia in East-Timor – Ehud Eiran classifies post-colonial settlement projects as a distinct cluster of cases that warrant a different analytical approach to traditional colonial studies.

Ehud (Udi) Eiran is Associate Professor at the School of Political Science, University of Haifa. Eiran is a graduate of Tel-Aviv, Cambridge and Brandeis Universities, and held research appointments at Harvard Law School and Harvard’s Kennedy School. He was also a visiting lecturer at MIT’s Department of Political Science. Prior to his academic career, Eiran served as Assistant to the Foreign Policy Advisor to Israel’s Prime Minister.

This is a fascinating exploration of an important and timely project: the motivations behind contemporary settlement projects in occupied territories. Eiran critiques existing explanations, offers a novel argument of his own, and provides persuasive and compelling evidence based on crucial case studies. It will appeal to a broad readership of policy makers, scholars and well-informed members of the public alike.
