This detailed examination of Israeli foreign policy towards the
Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) between the 1967 war and
the 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip focuses on the impact and
process of globalisation on the Israeli state's politics, economy,
society and culture. In order to determine how interfacing
developed between foreign policy and globalisation a theoretical
framework is presented that brings together two established
approaches that hitherto have advanced in parallel: foreign policy
analysis and globalisation theory. This is the first attempt within
the discipline of International Relations to theorise the
relationships between foreign policy and globalisation. Causal
relationships underpinning Israeli foreign policy -- involving
government, the state, the economy, social stratification, and the
media -- are linked to globalisation by specific example.
Conventional accounts of this relationship strip military and
political factors of any significance in terms of the
conceptualisation of globalisation and its causes, in favour of
spatio-temporal and economic dimensions. The state is viewed as
being compelled to transform in response to the pressures of
globalisation. But in the case of Israel the state acted
proactively by using foreign policy towards the PLO as a key site
of action to capture the opportunities and cope with the challenges
presented by globalisation. To date there have been only partial
historical accounts of Israeli foreign policy towards the PLO in
the context of globalisation. It is generally understood that
foreign policy towards the PLO became entangled with globalisation
due to the socio-economic and cultural globalisation of Israel in
the mid-1980s, but this study shows that the increasing impact of
military and political globalisation during the Cold War on the
Arab-Israeli conflict resulted in Israeli foreign policy towards
the PLO, and globalisation effects in Israel, becoming entwined
from the early 1970s.
