Dynamic Consociationalism: Integrative Lessons for a Unified Dynamic Consociationalism: Integrative Lessons for a Unified Israel-Palestine An Honors Thesis for the Program on International Relations Joseph Leone Tufts University, 2016 ABSTRACT After twenty-five years, the American-sponsored peace process has failed to produce a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, resulting in a seemingly hopeless impasse. However, despite the increasing number of scholars, diplomats, and activists proclaiming the death of the two-state solution, little attention has been spent analyzing alternative resolutions. The most prominent of these alternatives, the creation of a single, democratic state in all of Israel-Palestine, is at the center of a growing movement to move away from the failed two-state paradigm. However, little analysis has been conducted as to what form of democratic government could best provide stability and equality to a prospective Israeli-Palestinian state. In order to better understand the dynamics of governing across deep communal divides, Israelis and Palestinians should look towards the democratic experiences of other deeply divided societies, particularly those whose relevant divisions and demographics resemble the Israeli- Palestinian context. This thesis examines the confessional political system of Lebanon and the extent to which it has provided stability and equality to its diverse religious communities. While Lebanon was able to achieve relative stability by addressing its deep divisions and incorporating each community in the political process, the inclusive benefits of this system were consistently undermined by the inflexible distribution of political positions amongst pre-determined communal groups. With no mechanism for the system to adapt to change over time, what was once a promising plural democracy collapsed into a fifteen-year civil war with a lasting legacy of sectarian violence. In response to these findings, this thesis proposes an alternative system of “dynamic consociationalism” as an effective form of governance in deeply divided societies, both Lebanon and Israel-Palestine. Through a system of proportional representation, executive power-sharing, communal autonomy, and minority vetoes - all on a self-determined basis - such a model enables the incorporation of all relevant segments of the population into government yet is able to adapt to reflect both changing demographic realities and the emergence of inclusive political forces that bridge the communal divide. Although the realization of a one-state solution in Israel- Palestine may still be a distant outcome, this thesis proposes the consideration of a dynamic consociational model as a stable and integrative framework for such a unified, democratic state. Acknowledgements I could not have completed this research without the tireless support and guidance of Professors Malik Mufti, Consuelo Cruz, and Richard Eichenberg, who encouraged and assisted me every step along the way, and for that I am endlessly thankful. I would also like to thank Robert Buderi and Sierra Kaplan-Nelson for the long conversations that inspired me to pursue this thesis in the first place. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents for their unwavering support throughout my academic career.

  • When Scholarship Disturbs Narrative: Ian Lustick on Israel's Migration
    FORUM When Scholarship Disturbs Narrative Ian Lustick on Israel’s Migration Balance Comment by Sergio DellaPergola ABSTRACT: In response to Ian Lustick’s article on Israel’s migration bal- ance in the previous issue of Israel Studies Review, I question the author’s (lack of) theoretical frame, data handling, and conclusions, all set up against a robust narrative. I show that, until 2010, Israel displayed a posi- tive, if weakened, migration balance and that immigration trends contin- ued to reflect conditions among Diaspora Jewish populations more than Israel’s absorption context. Emigration rates from Israel, while admittedly difficult to measure, were objectively moderate and proportionally lower, for example, than those of Switzerland, a more developed country of similar size, or those of ethnic Germans returning to and then again leav- ing Germany. The main determinants of emigration from Israel—namely, ‘brain drain’—consistently related to socio-economic changes and not to security. I also reject Lustick’s assumptions about the ideological bias of Israel’s research community when dealing with international migration. Scholarship about Israel should not ignore global contextualization and international comparisons. KEYwords: aliyah, economy, emigration, immigration, Israel, Lustick, security, yeridah, Zionism The question whether objective truth can be attributed to human thinking is not a question of theory but is a practical question. Man must prove the truth—i.e., the reality and power, the this-sidedness of his thinking, in practice. The dispute over the reality or non-reality of thinking that is isolated from practice is a purely scholastic question. — Marx, Theses on Feuerbach Don’t confuse us with your data: we know the situation.

  • A Realpolitik Reassessment
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 178 From Camp David to Oslo: A Realpolitik Reassessment Sep 17, 1998 Brief Analysis he peace process has, in practice, meant Israel's acceptance by the Arab world. This process, however, is not T irreversible. It is mainly a function of Israel's military, economic, and strategic strength and the Arab recognition of structural weakness. Only as long as current conditions hold, the peace process will continue. The American role in the peace process is important yet should not be overstated. Much has occurred without the involvement of the United States. The Oslo Accord, which occurred without American knowledge of the negotiations, is a primary example. The peace treaty between Jordan and Israel also did not have much input from the United States. To be sure, a change in U.S. policy toward increased isolationism could significantly threaten the peace process. Realpolitik Reasons for the Peace Process. The root cause for the peace process has been several realist considerations: Reaction to past conflict. Failed attempts to eliminate Israel by military means have forced the Arab world, however reluctantly, to accept Israel. The use of force has proven too difficult and too costly in dealing with Israel. In addition, Arab recognition of Israel's nuclear capabilities has reinforced the notion that Israel is militarily strong and cannot be easily removed from the map. Weariness toward war has also forced the countries of the region to redefine their national goals. Populations have grown tired of protracted conflict. This has led to a willingness to discuss the possibility of peace by all nations in the region.

  • Democracy Promotion in Palestine: Aid and the “De- Democratization” of the West Bank and Gaza
    Democracy Promotion in Palestine: Aid and the “De- Democratization” of the West Bank and Gaza Leila Farsakh Introduction Since the initiation of the Oslo Peace process in 1993, the West Bank and Gaza Strip is estimated to have received over $15billion in aid, two times the size of its GDP. While aid to conflict areas and peace transitioning societies is not unusual, the amount of aid that the Palestinians in the Israeli occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza have received over the past 18 years has been unprecedented, both in historical terms and in comparison to other developing countries. On average $258 were disbursed in aid per Palestinian in 2004 compared $215 in Bosnia in the 1990s or $235 in East Timor.1 The donor community, as much as the Palestinian leadership, deemed this aid necessary for the success of the peace process. A philanthropy of UN bodies, international organizations- most notably the World Bank and the IMF-, EU members donor’s aid agencies, and local NGOs have been heavily involved in trying to build the foundations of a sound Palestinian economy and to lay the basis for the creation of a viable Palestinian state. Humanitarian aid has also become important as Palestinian per capita income fell after 1996 and again after 2000. The donor community has also given particular attention to projects geared towards promoting democracy and good governance, considered central to any successful Palestinian polity. However, the ability of aid to deliver on its three main promises of developing the economy, building the foundation of the Palestinian state and promoting democracy, proved limited and contentious.2 After more than 18 years of Oslo peace process and huge amount of aid, the Palestinian economy is fragmented, dependent on Israel and 1 Le More, International Assistance to the Palestinians after Oslo, London: Routledge, 2008: 179.

  • The Brookings Institution Center on the United
    THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER ON THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE Second Annual Raymond Aron Lecture IN DEFENSE OF DECADENT EUROPE Speakers: Tony Judt Gilles Andreani Introduction: Philip Gordon November 16, 2005 [TRANSCRIPT PRODUCED FROM A TAPE RECORDING] P R O C E E D I N G S MR. GORDON: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Let me welcome you all here, and apologies for the late start. There are a number of people still fighting the elements, but I thank you for doing your best to get here. I'm Phil Gordon, the director of the Center on the United States and Europe here at Brookings. It's really a great pleasure for me to welcome you to the second annual Raymond Aron lecture here. Aron, as everybody knows, was the prominent French scholar, philosopher, political commentator, journalist who was best known for his willingness to follow his ideas wherever the evidence took him rather than supporting the conventional wisdom of the day. He also combined great theoretical and historical work with a deep appreciation for the dilemmas of the policymaker and the need to apply those ideas to the real world. He had very little time for intellectuals who couldn't think about the realities of the real world. And finally, he also stood quite strongly for a strong U.S.-French and U.S.- European relationship at a time when that itself wasn't always fashionable. I think in all of those ways he is sort of a symbol for what we aspire to do here, combining theoretical historical work with the dilemmas of the policymaker and the real world.
