Ten Load-shedding and reloading: changes in government responsibility – the case of Israeli immigration and integration policy 2004–10
-
Ilana Shpaizman
Abstract
Chapter Ten is Ilana Shpaizman’s prize-winning paper on Israeli immigration and integration policies between 2004 and 2010. Her paper reveals the incoherence and contradictions that exist within immigration and integration policies between 2004 and 2010. Her paper reveals the incoherence and contradictions that exist within immigration and integration policy, pulled in different directions by devolved market solutions on the one hand, and more centralised government control on the other. The chapter helps to shed lights on these contradictions by exploring a range of institutional barriers and conduits to change, suggesting that economic growth and competition for skilled labour has led to malleable, if contradictory, policy outcomes.
