摘要

本文探讨了以色列比尔谢瓦大都市军事化和城市化发展的政治经济问题。该地区目前正经历一波政府和私人投资浪潮，主要是搬迁军事基地、军事和网络产业，以及基础设施发展。普遍的分析将这种转变与国家-领土目标联系起来。本文认为，这些过程的基础是新自由主义经济，以及由此导致的2008年后土地和房价的通胀。这些因素在很大程度上决定了军事项目的速度和形态，也就是所谓的“投机性军国主义”。此外，面对社会不满和通货膨胀带来的建设压力，国防机构被发现是区域发展、土地和劳动力市场的关键促进者。这些方面被概念化为构成“军事-城市关系”。

The Military-Urban Nexus: the political-economy of real-estate, development, and the military in Beer-Sheva metropolis

ABSTRACT The paper explores the political-economy of militarization and urbanization in the development of Beer-Sheva metropolis, Israel. The region currently undergoes a wave of governmental and private investments, led by the relocation of army bases, military and cyber industries, and infrastructural development. The prevalent analysis relates this transformation to national-territorial goals. It is argued here that underlying these processes is the neo-liberal economy and the resulting post-2008 inflation of land and housing prices. These highly determine the pace and shape of military projects, what is framed as ‘speculative militarism.’ Further, the defence apparatus is found to be a crucial facilitator of regional development and of the land and labour markets, in the face of the social discontent and the thrust of construction that the inflation generates. These aspects are conceptualized as constituting a ‘Military-Urban Nexus.’

期刊介绍： Critical Military Studies provides a rigorous, innovative platform for interdisciplinary debate on the operation of military power. It encourages the interrogation and destabilization of often taken-for-granted categories related to the military, militarism and militarization. It especially welcomes original thinking on contradictions and tensions central to the ways in which military institutions and military power work, how such tensions are reproduced within different societies and geopolitical arenas, and within and beyond academic discourse. Contributions on experiences of militarization among groups and individuals, and in hitherto underexplored, perhaps even seemingly ‘non-military’ settings are also encouraged. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to double-blind peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. The Journal also includes a non-peer reviewed section, Encounters, showcasing multidisciplinary forms of critique such as film and photography, and engaging with policy debates and activism.
