This extraordinary activity of planners, architects, social scientists, military personnel, politicians, and settlers is inextricably linked to multiple contexts: Jewish and Zionist history, the Arab/Jewish conflict, and the diffusion of European ideas to non-European worlds. S. Ilan Troen demonstrates how professionals and settlers continually innovated plans for both rural and urban frontiers in response to the competing demands of social and political ideologies and the need to achieve productivity, economic independence, and security in a hostile environment. In the 1930's, security became the primary challenge, shaping and even distorting patterns of growth. Not until the 1993 Oslo Accords, with prospects of compromise and accommodation, did planners again imagine Israel as a normal state, developing like other modern societies. Troen concludes that if Palestinian Arabs become reconciled to a Jewish state, Israel will reassign priority to the social and economic development of the country and region. 606 $aZionism$zPalestine$xHistory 606 $aJews$xColonization$zPalestine$xHistory 606 $aAgricultural colonies$zPalestine$xHistory 606 $aJews$zPalestine$xEconomic conditions$y19th century 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 606 $aMoshavim$xHistory 606 $aKibbutzim$xHistory 606 $aUrbanization$zIsrael$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aZionism$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xColonization$xHistory. 615 0$aAgricultural colonies$xHistory. 615 0$aJews$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aJews$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aMoshavim$xHistory. 615 0$aKibbutzim$xHistory. 615 0$aUrbanization$xHistory. 676 $a956.9405 700 $aTroen$b S.
