Ehud Eiran compares three major settlement projects – Israel in the West Bank and Gaza, Morocco in Western Sahara and Indonesia in East-Timor – to discover why states launch settlements against international norms. He argues that post-colonial settlement projects are a distinct cluster of cases, separate from traditional colonial studies.

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.

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.
