In this paper, I investigate recent Palestinian and Israeli environmental narratives as effects of power. I


also read differences between both styles of narration as differences in conceptions and experiences of


power. While Palestinian environmental narratives for the most part build on a Weberian perception of


power (sovereign-territorial), their Israeli counterparts subscribe to what could be described as a Fou-


caultian perspective of power (bio-power). These underlying perceptions of power lead to forms of resis-


tance that are focused on property rights and questions of sovereignty in Palestine and on concerns over


quality of life of the population in Israel. By constructing theoretical distinctions between territory and


population, Palestinian and Israeli environmental narratives continue a strongly entrenched tradition in


theories of state, power, and governmentality. In this paper, I provide a critique of this ontological distinc-


tion between territory and population and argue that the distinction itself should be recognized as an effect


of power: by attending to its territorial forms, power’s exercise on the level of population (gender, class,


color) is rendered benign; and, by focusing on quality of life of the population, power’s expression in ter-


ritorial forms is often deemed irrelevant for environmental knowledge and action. This critique of power


calls for further research on and discusses implications of a bio-territorial conceptualization of power, as


well as attendant forms of resistance.
