The author analyzes planning for the Israeli Bedouin of the Negev as a manifestation of the dialectics of globalization. The author describes the Negev region as an arena for a civil struggle between the Bedouin and the state for control over territorial resources: When the Bedouin were forced into an urban existence, they began a long-term campaign of resisting state plans. The author illustrates how the Bedouin recruit their local cultural narrative to affect the planning process, how these processes may be viewed as a globalized impact and localized response, and the position this process assumes on the globalization-localization scale.
