ABSTRACT

This book has offered insights concerning the question how order comes into existence in Palestine and how this relates to world society as the overarching context in which power dynamics are embedded. It is one of the book’s major observations that modern governmentality represents a globally diffused model that determines how power is exercised in world society and thus also how order is generated in Palestine. Modern governmentality, in this sense, represents a constitutive pattern of political ordering in world society that is directed at governing populations based on economic rationalizations with the help of specific institutional arrangements that monitor the state of the population.
