Exacerbating social cleavages: the media's role in Israel's religious-secular conflict / Evans, Matt   Journal Article
Evans, Matt Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This article challenges the traditional model of the media as a positive agent for political socialization. The increasing variety of news sources has reversed the role of the media, contributing to growing cultural fragmentation, rather than the unification of nations. One of the most volatile cultural cleavages in countries around the world is the clash between fundamentalist and secular members of the same religion. This work explores the role of the media in societal rifts through a study of the secular and religious press in Israel. The potentially divisive impact of the media has implications for other countries in the Middle East that are also characterized by religious-secular tensions.

Framing policy paradigms: population dispersal and the Gaza withdrawal / Evans, Matt   Article
Evans, Matt Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In June 2004 the Israeli government decided to dismantle all of the Israeli settlements in the Gaza strip. During the year between the government’s decision and the implementation of this policy, ardent supporters and opponents of the move sought to sway a divided Israeli public through public relations campaigns promoting their positions. One of the central components of the government’s campaign supporting the pullout from Gaza was that it would advance the development of Israel’s southern Negev region. Promotion of the policy as a means for development of the Negev tied into Israel’s long-standing population dispersal policy, which has been a policy paradigm for land use and development in Israel since the state’s founding. This paper examines the way in which development of the Negev was used to advance the Gaza pullout and the degree to which this development was implemented in the years following the pullout. Analysis of the Israeli case is used illustrate the strategic influence of policy paradigms in public policy implementation.

Population dispersal policy and the 1990s immigration wave / Evans, Matt   Journal Article
Evans, Matt Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The article examines whether policymakers were successful in taking advantage of the massive immigration of the 1990s to meet the demographic objectives laid out in Israel's long-standing population dispersal policy. This policy has been one of the most consistent in Israel's history, endorsed by every government since the State's establishment. Population dispersal policy has been a key component of security, housing, economic, and land-use policy for more than sixty years. As in the 1950s and 1960s, the massive influx of one million immigrants from the former Soviet Union provided a unique opportunity to realize this policy's goals. This work examines the degree to which that opportunity was utilized through analyses of policy implementation and demographic change during and after the 1990s immigration wave.
