Israel's Materialist Militarism examines the decade of fluctuations
in Israel's military policies, from the peace period of the Oslo
Accords to the al-Aqsa Intifada, when the military's use of
excessive force led to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority,
and on to the Second Lebanon War of 2006, which reversed the
moderating tendencies of the withdrawal from Gaza a year earlier.
These dynamics of escalation and deescalation are explained in
terms of materialist militarism, the exchange between social
groups' military sacrifice and their social rewards, which in turn
increases or decreases the level of militarism in society. Levy
thus lays down a theoretical framework vital to tracing the
fluctuating levels of militarism in Israel and elsewhere. Israel's
Materialist Militarism is recommended for those interested in the
Arab-Israeli conflict and military-society relations in general.
