CPP's Sultan Barakat publishes Brief on Gaza Reconstruction

Dr. Sultan Barakat writes that post-conflict reconstruction must be based on the welfare of the Palestinian people, their right to sovereignty, in the context of a two-state solution

Entity: College of Public Policy

In his capacity as Academic Fellow at the University of Geneva’s Centre for Humanitarian Studies, Dr. Sultan Barakat, Professor, College of Public Policy (CPP), has published a policy brief titled Gaza: Leadership and Reconstruction for the “Day After”.

The brief outlines how leadership perspectives on reconstruction in Gaza post-conflict should be based first and foremost on the welfare of the Palestinian people as a social and humanitarian endeavor. It details how the process must cover political and institution building; economic reforms and financial security; and humanitarian and social reconciliation.

It also lists a variety of recommendations for international policymakers to consider, including calling for a ceasefire, formation of an international protection team composed of nations that have upheld international law throughout the conflict, establishment of a Palestinian interim government, and other policies.

Dr. Barakat collaborated with Dr. Paul Porteous, Director of Leadership and International Development, Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis, University of Canberra, to develop the brief.

Commenting on the publication, Dr. Barakat said: “The unprecedented destruction and dislocation of the population in Gaza necessitates a re-thinking of our understanding of the nature of conflict and post-conflict trajectories. At the College of Public Policy, we give priority to teaching and researching responses to policy questions of local, regional and global relevance - post-war reconstruction is an area of growing interest.”

“The approach advocated by Barakat and Porteous contrasts with the dominant U.S. and some European policy where the goal is solely the ‘security of Israel’ - this is very refreshing”, said Professor Barnett R. Rubin from New York University.
