Differences in Migratory Spatial Patterns in Israel's National Periphery: Theoretical Ramifications
Abstract
This paper examines temporal changes in patterns of migration in two regions comprising the national periphery of Israel: the Galilee, in the north, and the Negev, in the south. A comparative analysis of the literature dealing with migration in peripheral regions provides the theoretical framework. The empirical results for Israel indicate that migration in peripheral regions is not uniform, with differences noted between the Galilee and the Negev. These findings contrast with the uniformity attributed to similar migration patterns in other peripheral regions, and this, therefore, raises substantial questions with respect to the accepted explanations of such processes.References
