  • Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel's Ethnic Democracy
    DEMOCRACY, IDENTITY AND SECURITY IN ISRAEL’S ETHNIC DEMOCRACY: THE IDEATIONAL UNDERPINNINGS OF INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE By Dubi Kanengisser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Dubi Kanengisser, 2016 Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel’s Ethnic Democracy: The Ideational Underpinnings of Institutional Change, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016, Dubi Kanengisser, Graduate Department of Political Science, University of Toronto Abstract This work expands on the growing ideational institutionalist literature by proposing that institutional change and stability are influenced most substantially by changes to the underlying ideational network which link core societal ideas. These core ideas create the framework on which institutions are built and in which form they are fashioned. Changes to the ideational network lead to adaptive changes in institutions, but the difficulty in completely removing core ideas from these networks protects the institutions from substantial change. The theory is demonstrated using the case of the surprising stability of ethnic democracy in Israel in the wake of the substantial changes to the country’s economic and security realities. Small adaptive changes in the institution of ethnic democracy are traced back to changes in the balance between three core ideas: democracy, Jewish identity, and security. The overall stability of the institution, however, is linked to the enduring linkages of the three core ideas even as they experienced changes in their individual meanings. ii Too many years the Israeli left also accepted the separation between Jews and Arabs. First by looking away, then through submission, and finally wholeheartedly, it adopted the racist world view that the Arabs are not part of the political game.

The President’s Report quite appropriately looks back over the dramatic developments of the past forty years while addressing the future and BGU’s ongoing challenges and weighty responsibilities. This Report revisits a journey – a journey from the modest plans to establish a local technological institute, over a course of steady progress, culminating in a first-rate research university enjoying international recognition, which is Ben-Gurion University of the Negev today. “From Vision to Reality” juxtaposes a small and sleepy desert town of forty years ago, characterized by its remoteness, with a modern institute for higher education that is a bridge to the future.

  • The Subordinate Integration of Palestinian Arabs Into Israeli Society, 1948-1967
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Both Arab and Israeli: The Subordinate Integration of Palestinian Arabs into Israeli Society, 1948-1967 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Arnon Yehuda Degani 2018 © Copyright by Arnon Yehuda Degani 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Both Arab and Israeli: The Subordinate Integration of Palestinian Citizens into Israeli Society, 1948-1967 by Arnon Yehuda Degani Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor David N. Myers, Co-Chair Professor Gershon Shafir, Co-Chair The dissertation offers new insights into the daily life, political status, and worldviews of the Palestinian Arabs in Israel between 1948 and 1967. During this period, the state endowed this community with nominal citizenship while at the same time subjecting it to martial law and a wide array of discriminatory policies. My work constitutes a careful reconstruction of the daily interactions between the Palestinian Arab citizens and Israeli state organs in four realms: movement restrictions, labor unionism, health care, and political expression. The dissertation focuses on the Israeli-Palestinian encounter at the military checkpoint, in the doctor’s examination ii room, in the everyday tasks of the Palestinian Histadrut member, and in the worldview of the pro- Nasser café patron. Along with newly declassified and previously inaccessible Israeli archival material, the dissertation also makes use of oral history interviews, private memoirs, and the printed press. In particular, this study disrupts the current scholarly and public discussions on the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel, which pit one claim against another: either the State of Israel has consistently oppressed and persecuted the Palestinians under its control, or it has overall functioned as a model democracy.
