Palestinian participation in the Israeli labor market. It is the demand
for, not the supply of, Palestinian labor that presents a new yet an am-
biguous fact.
A challenge posed by this ambiguity thus far is to identify the
major causes underlying the emerging demand for Palestinian labor in
Israel, a demand that has become most prominent since the 1967 war, We
emphasize, in particular, causes that involve structural changes; i.e.,
transformation in the relations of production, This emphasis derives
from the conviction that changes in the relations of market-exchange,
that is, in the sphere of distribution, are determined by changes in the
sphere of production, In addition, the emphasis on structural transfor-
mation, as opposed to factor analysis, is determined also by the practi-
cal objective of this study. This involves the assessment of possible
implications of the massive participation of Palestinians in the Israeli
labor market on long-term political development.
Focussing on the relations of production may reveal the extent to
which the emerging demand for Palestinian labor in Israel today is struc-
tural or merely conjunctural. If Palestinian labor in Israel represents
merely a transitory labor, it makes no sense to talk about long-term
political implications. In this sense, our research problem is neces-
sarily two-fold: practical and explanatory. And although distinct,
these two aspects of the study are essentially complementary. Their
theoretical methodological treatment tends also to overlap, as illus-
trated below. - تاريخ
