Hegemony – Counter Hegemony: A Gramscian Analysis of Israeli Settlement Activity
Journal Title: FİLİSTİN ARAŞTIRMALARI DERGİSİ - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The settlements, a fact on the ground by today, have had considerable effects both on Palestinian life and on the peace process. Notably, in the quality of irreversible entities, they have emerged as obstacles before a two-state solution. This article is an attempt to analyze the settlement activity in the occupied territories through the Gramscian concept of hegemony. On the first hand, the study will apply the concept of hegemony to the Israeli settlement policy by demonstrating the changing political climate within the country and the ideological attitudes towards the occupied territories. By doing so, the study will seek to reveal how Israel’s settlement activity has become hegemonic. It will also discuss whether Israeli policies vis-à-vis the Palestinians in the occupied territories, which culminated in the First Intifada in 1987, have created a counter-hegemonic alternative in a Gramscian sense.
