The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

Kampagne für Saubere Kleidung Clean Clothes Campaign Entwicklungspolitisches Netzwerk Sachsen e.V. ENS Dr. Bettina Musiolek Dresden, 13. November 2014 To Christoph Auhagen, Chief Brand Officer HUGO BOSS AG Dieselstrasse 12 , 72555 Metzingen [email protected] cc RA Carsten Thiel von Herff, Hugo Boss Ombudsperson Detmolder Straße 30, 33604 Bielefeld 0049/5215573330 [email protected] Complaint Poverty wages of workers producing Hugo Boss products Rationale: Europe plays an important role in the production and sales of Boss’ products According to Hugo Boss’ Sustainability Report 2013, „the Group operates production facilities in Izmir (Turkey), which is its largest in-house production location, as well as in Cleveland (USA), Metzingen (Germany), Radom (Poland) and Morrovalle (Italy).“ „The main business operations of the HUGO BOSS Group are concentrated within Europe, where the primary administrative and production sites are located.” „The Company has identified attractive growth opportunities in Eastern Europe.” „Production, logistics and administration locations in Europe (…) represent 55% of the Group's employees.” The company’s claim with regard to remuneration „The HUGO BOSS Group’s remuneration system is designed to ensure the fair and transparent compensation of employees and promote a culture of performance and dedication.” „At international locations the companies comply with the corresponding national framework conditions with regard to their pay structure. As such, entry-level wages must be at least equivalent to the statutory minimum wage.” (p. 23, Sustainability Report). The report does not account for any reality checks of these claims, let alone an indepent verification. CCC research on wages of Hugo Boss workers The Clean Clothes Campaign researched in Turkey, Central, East and South East Europe in order to find out, which conditions workers who make Hugo Boss’ clothes find themselves in – with specific focus on remuneration.

Reinventing Classics: the Hidden Design Strategies of Renowned Chefs
Reinventing classics: the hidden design strategies of renowned Chefs Marine Agogué(1), Armand Hatchuel(2) (1) HEC Montréal (2) Centre de GestionScientifique, Mines ParisTech, France Abstract Reinventing classics is a well-used yet complex design pattern. Indeed, a reinterpreted classic needs to relate to the original object while simultaneouslychallenging the initial model and providinga new and fresh look tothe well-established classic. However, this design strategy remains understudied, and we aim to contribute to the literature by addressing the lack of theoretical models for reinventing classics. Reinterpreting tradition is a key process for chefs in the culinary world.Our paper explores how design theories elucidate how chefs reinterpret classics and innovate in their kitchens by stepping away from tradition. Our contribution to the study of design is two- fold.First, from a methodological point of view, we used a framework based on C-K theory and axiomatic design theory to conduct a comparative analysis of recipes for 30 dishes that were reinterpreted by the renowned chef Alain Ducasse. Second, our study identifiedtwo design regimesused by chefs to reinvent classics by focusing on the nature of the set of functions a recipe aims to fulfill. The first regime consists of retaining the same functionsfrom the original recipewhile changing themeans to achieve them. The second requires changing the set of functionsby removing old ones, adding new ones and occasionally designing new ways to achieve the functions. 1. Introduction: modeling culinary innovation Reinventingclassics is a well-known design strategy used in many fields: Fiat redesigned the myth of the Fiat 500, Picasso proposed his own version of Manet’sLuncheon on the Grass, and Murakami drew cherry blossoms on the iconic Louis Vuitton Speedy handbag.

But I also remain a curious cook. My roots carry me but do not hold me down. My arrival in Monaco was a magical and momentous moment in my life. It is on this rock, nestled between France and Italy that I encountered my Riviera. I know today that this land was my destiny. All my cooking is inspired from this area that sings sunlight. From it, I draw strength and truth. « Riviera »: the word alone echoes a certain invitation to dolce farniente. However, the Riviera is a land of farmers and breeders who, historically, have toiled to bring abundance from an arid land.
