Abstract
Beginning in 1993 Israel began importing large numbers of foreign workers replacing its traditional Palestinian labor force. This article presents a descriptive history and theoretical analysis of the migration placing it in the context of Israels reliance on noncitizen labor from the occupied territories. Dual labor market theory is particularly helpful in analyzing labor migration to Israel but only by also analyzing the determinants of state policy can we understand how these recent flows began. The Israeli case thus suggests a cumulative model of the initiation of labor migration flows: structural factors create a predisposition toward use of foreign labor and political factors determine whether and how that predisposition will be actualized.
