- Opis:
- In this article I try to conduct classification of cleavages in Israel. Cleavages are important element in process of electoral behavior and decide about change of party system. In the first part of the article, I determine differences between cleavage and political and social divisions. Then, in further part of article, the proposed definition of cleavage will be used to examine, whether the social and political conflicts in Israel make up composition with assumed by me definition of cleavage. In the second part of article, I present suggestions of other researchers over occurrence of cleavages in Israel. Using researches of G. S. Mahler, S. Smooha, R. Y. Hazan and M. Shamir & A. Arian, I assume that in Israel following cleavages appear: religious, ethnic, class and nationalist - territorial. Further part of the article is devoted to verify this hypothesis. In this part, using earlier proposed definition, I test respective cleavages in Israel. Religious cleavage is very strong and dominates in Israel’s policy. Ethnic cleavages consist of two parts: Arab - Jewish cleavage and Ashkenazi - Sephardi cleavage. Both of them appear in Israel. Whereas, class cleavage differs from my definition of cleavage. Lack of class consciousness in Israel causes that I do not classify this division into cleavage. Nationalist - territorial cleavage, defined also as a conflict between ,,dove” and ,,hawk”, because of lack of social basis, also differs from proposed definition of cleavage. However, connection of the religious cleavage with the nationalist – territorial division causes that it’s an important element of electoral behavior. The last part of the article includes conclusions. I affirm that there are three cleavages in Israel: (accumulated) religious-territorial and two ethnic: Arab-Jewish and Ashkenazi-Sephardi. Cleavages in Israel influence on electoral behaviors and the party system. Ethnic cleavage caused that political rivalry in Israel has a bipolar shape. It also influenced on change of the party system in Israel. However, religious cleavage is the most important cleavage. This cleavage, connected with conflict between ,,hawk” and ,,dove”, affects polarization of the political scene in Israel and explains voters’ behavior in supporting political parties in Israel.
