EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MP-$1.00 BC-$11.95 DESCRIPTORS Acculturation, Educational Needs, Educational Opportunities, *Educational Problems, *Educational Programs, Educational Resources, Ethnic Groups, *Ethnic Relations, Ncn Western Civilization, Research and Development Centers, *Research Projects IDENTIFIERS Committee On Education And Labor, Hebrew University, *Israel, Tel Aviv University ABSTRACT This Congressional Subcommittee report on education in Israel begins with a brief narrative of impressions on preschool programs, kibbutz, vocational programs, and compensatory programs. Although the members of the subcommittee do not want to make definitive judgments on the applicability of education in Israel to American needs, they are most favorably impressed by the great emphasis which the Israelis place on early childhood programs, vocational/technical education, and residential youth villages. The people of Israel are considered profoundly dedicated to the support of education at every level. The country works toward expansion of opportunities for education, based upon a belief that the educational system is the key to the resolution of major social problems. In the second part of the report, the detailed itinerary of the subcommittee is described with annotated comments about the places and persons visited. In the last part, appendixes describing in great depth characteristics of the Israeli education system (higher education in Israel, education and culture, and the kibbutz) are reprinted.

  • Water Commission
    Information Paper #2 ISRAEL'S WATER DILEMMAS; WATER AND WATER-RELATED AGENCIES IN ISRAEL; ISRAEL'S WATER LAWS 25 April 1988 Associates for Middle East Research, Inc. 2400 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19103 INFORMATION PAPER Israel's Water Dilemmas A severe water shortage looms on the horizon for Israel. To meet its water needs, Israel has, in the recent past, consistently used over 100 percent of its renewable resources. The situation has become par ticularly acute with subpar rainfalls in recent years. In 1985/86 Israel's aquifers were overdrawn by 247 Mem, or more than 40 percent over the renewable amount (#3911). In that year Israel consumed a total of 1987 Mem (#3697), while we have determined that Israel's total renewable water resources is around 1800 Mem. Israel, therefore, used over 110% of its water in 1985/86. The total groundwater deficit that has accumulated since Israel began overpumping has been estimated at around 1700 Mem 1300 from Israel's coastal plain aquifer which as a result has become dangerously saline, and 400 Mem from the Yarkon-Taninim aquifer Israel s aquifers, especially the coastal aquifer, are nearing the "red line , the point at which further pumping will do irreversible damage And should this line be crossed the aquifers would be destroyed and be come useless to future generations (#3911). Last year, 1987, was an exceptionally good rain year for Israel, but this has done little to relieve the huge groundwater deficit. It would take several such good years in a row to begin to improve Israel's water situation without con servation measures being taken.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 o ON CA lA N Abstract For six years since 1984 Israel underwent a unique p o litic al experience: i t was ruled by national coalitions supported by more than 75% of the members of parliament. Larger-than-minimal coalitions have always been problematic for traditional coalition theory. The Israeli case provides therefore an opportunity to examine the various actors' motivations and behaviour, as they reflect on coalition theory at 1arge. The assumption that actors are driven by "win maximization" is central to formal models of coalition theory. This assumption led to predictions of winning coalitions which are minimal in size, membership or ideological scope. Non-minimal coalitions were regarded as suboptimal choices, explainable on an ad hoc basis, e.g.

Para lograr esto, se estudiarán los grupos de interés religiosos enmarcados en el sistema político israelí, analizando el sistema de coaliciones de partidos, en especial lo que respecta a la dinámica de los partidos políticos de filiación religiosa.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: HAWKS to DOVES
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: HAWKS TO DOVES: THE ROLE OF PERSONALITY IN FOREIGN POLICY DECISION-MAKING Guy Ziv, Ph. D., 2008 Directed by: Professor Shibley Telhami Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development Department of Government and Politics Why do some hawkish leaders become doves, and what determines whether these leaders’ views affect dramatic change in a state’s foreign policy? Structural and domestic political explanations of foreign policy change tend to overlook the importance of leaders in such change. Political psychologists offer important insight into how and why certain leaders are inclined to revise their beliefs. Two psychological factors in particular hold great promise for explaining leaders’ foreign policy shifts: cognitive openness and cognitive complexity. Cognitively open leaders are receptive to new information and are thus more prone to changing their beliefs than cognitively closed leaders. Similarly, cognitively complex leaders recognize that distinct situations possess multiple dimensions, and so are more likely to engage in adaptive behavior than their cognitively simple counterparts. The primary case explored in this dissertation is that of Shimon Peres, who began his political career as a tough-minded hawk and, in mid-career, transformed into a leading dove. Peres is found to possess particularly high levels of cognitive openness and complexity, thus explaining why his dovish shift was more expansive and occurred sooner than did Yitzhak Rabin’s dovish turn. Begin and Shamir, by contrast, are found to be more cognitively closed and simple than either Peres or Rabin, thus explaining why these hawks remained hawks despite having witnessed the same systemic-structural and domestic political events as Peres and Rabin.

  • Where Community Happens. the Kibbutz and the Philosophy Of
    WHERE COMMUNITY HAPPENS WHERE COMMUNITY HAPPENS In reaction to the spread of globalization, recent years have seen considerable growth in the number of intentional communities established across the world. In this collection of articles and lectures, many of them previously unpublished in English, the author analyzes various aspects of the philosophy of the kibbutz W THE KIBBUTZ AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF COMMUNALISM and draws parallels with other societies and philosophical trends, in the hope that a close look at the ways of thought of the kibbutz – arguably the best- HERE established communalist society – may help other communalists crystallize their own social philosophies. Utopian thought and communal experience are brought to life through the extensive use of the voices of some of the most influential thinkers and kibbutz members of the past hundred years, including CO Martin Buber and David Ben Gurion. “Henry Near has spent a lifetime studying utopianism and intentional MMUNIT communities, with a special focus on the kibbutzim of Israel, of which he is the leading historian. This book brings together his thoughtful reflections on the kibbutzim and related topics. It will long be a benchmark in its field.” Tim Miller, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Kansas “As a distinguished scholar and long-time kibbutznik, communal historian and Y H philosopher Henry Near offers that all too rare combination of passion and balance, vision and realism. This timely book is an invaluable case study of the kibbutz in a broader, comparative perspective including Christian monasteries, APPENS Hutterite colonies, and New Age communes. It offers a goldmine of new evidence and mature wisdom, of value to historians, social scientists, humanists, and partisans of gender equality, youth empowerment, and cooperative alternatives for the twenty-first century.

    The Saban Forum A U.S.–Israel Dialogue War and Peace in the Middle East November 3-5, 2007 Jerusalem 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036 USA Phone: 202-797-6462, Fax: 202-797-2481 www.brookings.edu/sabancenter A Letter from Haim Saban Welcome to Jerusalem and the fourth annual Saban Forum. We are honored to welcome back many participants and privileged to have new guests join us. We are also grateful to those who traveled long distances to be here with us. This year’s Saban Forum, “War and Peace in the Middle East,” comes on the eve of the planned international peace meeting in Annapolis, Maryland, which may lead to the resumption of Israeli-Palestinian final status negotiations. That would be a silver lining in some of the dark clouds that threaten the Middle East’s horizon, from sectarian strife in Iraq, to Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Islamic extremist challenges to the existing order. Our overall purpose in this year’s dialogue is to assess the prospects for both war and peace in the Middle East and consider what the United States and Israel can do about both challenges. We aim to foster a candid exchange of views among people with diverse experience and deep knowledge. As in past years, we are avoiding set-piece speeches in favor of short opening presentations and even shorter interventions. This year, we have also reduced the number of sessions, allowing for more time within each session for the dialogue. Because we want to hear from all of you, please be succinct and to the point.
