  • 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.

  • Whither the Sharon Coalition? Implications of the Latest Cabinet Vote on Gaza | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 461 Whither the Sharon Coalition? Implications of the Latest Cabinet Vote on Gaza by David Makovsky Jun 9, 2004 ABOUT THE AUTHORS David Makovsky David Makovsky is the Ziegler distinguished fellow at The Washington Institute and director of the Koret Project on Arab-Israel Relations. Brief Analysis n June 6, 2004, the Israeli cabinet authorized (by a 14-7 margin) preparations for a possible Israeli O withdrawal from Gaza. The authorization called for a final decision to be made about the Gaza settlements by March 2005. In the meantime, Israeli national security advisor Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland is heading a ministerial panel to discuss different aspects of withdrawal. The cabinet vote has triggered changes in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government. On the eve of the vote, Sharon fired two ministers from the National Union Party (NU) for opposing the plan. That move led the staunchly pro-settler NU to withdraw entirely from Sharon's government, decreasing his coalition's 68-seat Knesset majority by 7 seats. Following the cabinet vote, a minister and a deputy minister from the pro-settler National Religious Party (NRP) resigned, and both have stated that they would individually leave Sharon's coalition as well. If they do so, Sharon would for the first time preside over a minority coalition of 59 in the 120- member Knesset. Sharon's Challenge amid Political Weakness The cabinet vote marked the first time that an Israeli cabinet declared a general desire to withdraw from Gaza. Toward that end, the cabinet authorized preparations for a pullout, including discussions regarding the relocation of Gaza settlers.

  • Israel's New Sharon Government | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 310 Israel's New Sharon Government by David Makovsky Mar 7, 2001 ABOUT THE AUTHORS David Makovsky David Makovsky is the Ziegler distinguished fellow at The Washington Institute and director of the Koret Project on Arab-Israel Relations. Brief Analysis he formation of a national unity government in Israel today, by a vote 72 to 21, is a triumph for Ariel Sharon. T First, he seized the initiative. After his landslide victory a few weeks ago, Sharon did not engage in classic Israeli bargaining tactics in dealing with his Labor Party rivals, but rather caught the defeated and divided party off balance by immediately offering them top cabinet positions in the desire to cement a unity government. Sharon was not intoxicated by the breadth of his victory, but rather followed through on his campaign commitment. Sharon realizes that it is also good politics. According to Gallup's poll taken last week, the Israeli public favors the establishment of such a government by an overwhelming 79 to 14 margin. Second, for Sharon, a unity government enhances his stature internationally. Nobel Peace Prize laurerate Shimon Peres told the Sunday Times of London that his role as foreign minister was to work for peace and to "make Sharon more popular worldwide." Third, Sharon realizes that a unity government is a prerequisite for a Likud leader, since his party is heterogenous, split between hard bargainers and hard-liners when it comes to the peace process. The last two Likud governments were brought down not by the left, but by the right each time after a diplomatic breakthrough.

Bu toprak kavgasının Yahudiler kısmı her zaman Siyonist hareketle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Aslında Siyonizm bu durumun görünen kısmıdır.

Bu hareket, dinsel bir olgu olan Mesih inancının Ortodoks Yahudilik tarafından yeniden yorumlanmasının yarattığı sosyal ve siyasal yansımalardır.

  • THE RISE of RELIGIOUS PARTIES in ISRAEL and TURKEY a COMPARATIVE STUDY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requ
    THE RISE OF RELIGIOUS PARTIES IN ISRAEL AND TURKEY A COMPARATIVE STUDY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University by Yusuf Sarfati, MA ***** The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor R. William Liddle, Adviser Professor Carter V. Findley Professor Goldie Shabad ___________________________ Adviser Political Science Graduate Program Copyright by Yusuf Sarfati 2009 ABSTRACT In the past three decades, religiopolitical actors have asserted themselves as significant political forces in a variety of countries around the world. This dissertation examines the question of why the electoral strength of religious parties increases in democratic societies. In order to answer this question, I use a “most different” case design and compare the rise of the Shas party in Israel and the National Outlook parties in Turkey in the 1990s. The findings suggest that the interaction of three variables accounts for the rise of the religious parties in both countries. This dissertation argues that the existence of a historical sociocultural cleavage, the recent politicization of this cleavage as a result of social change, and the secular states’ co- optation of religion have led to the strengthening of the religiopolitical parties in both countries. Using interviews with party activists, government officials, and other societal actors, the study delineates a causal narrative that links these explanatory variables to the dependent variable. I discuss how Shas and the National Outlook Movement emerged in the context of a politicized sociocultural divide and how these two movements addressed the grievances of the socioculturally marginalized segments of their society by using religion as a meta-narrative in their ideology and in their ii communication with their constituents.

    • FIVE • “Find Me a Way to Fudge It” N ORDER TO make the strategy of Syria-first work, the United IStates team spent the fall of 1999 immersing themselves in groundwork, primarily by lubricating the friction points that had lain dormant during the Netanyahu years. A new dynamic was thrown into the mix under Barak, with his promise to withdraw from Lebanon no later than June 2000, and both Ross and Barak gave surety on Israel’s intention, with or without a Syrian agreement, to do just that.1 This was a significant leverage point against Syria, which stations approximately 35,000 soldiers in Lebanon and acts as a power broker for the Lebanon-based Shiite resistance group Hezbollah. For many years, Hezbollah has been the only card the weaker Syrians could use to keep Israel uncom- fortable with its occupation of the Golan Heights and south- ern Lebanon. In the face of Barak’s planned unilateral with- drawal, Syria stood to lose its ability to encourage Hezbollah’s proxy attacks against Israeli military forces with- in occupied Lebanon. There were also high risks for Israel, should Barak make a 61 • CLAYTON E. SWISHER • unilateral withdrawal without negotiation. One of them was that resistance groups within Palestine might see the with- drawal as a defeat of the Israeli military, take inspiration from it and themselves turn away from years of negotiations, once again embracing armed struggle as a way of ending Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. At a strategic level, for Barak there was also the possibility that, absent an agreement with Syria to restrain Hezbollah, Hezbollah might shift its attacks from Israeli soldiers occu- pying Lebanon to civilian targets in northern Israel and Jewish settlers in the Golan Heights.

  • Yasmin Levy's Ladino Ballads and Flamenco Songs
    John C. Mc Intyre. Yasmin Levy’s Ladino ballads and flamenco songs: background for students of Spanish Yasmin Levy canta romances ladinos y canciones flamencas: Orientación para los estudiantes de Hispánicas John C. Mc Intyre Independent researcher University of Strathclyde Recibido el 18 de octubre de 2009 Aprobado el 14 de noviembre de 2009 Resumen: Yasmin inició su carrera cantando los romances antiguos de la tradición llamada ladina de los judeo-españoles o sefardíes. Las comunidades judías, radicadas en España desde el Imperio romano, florecieron durante el reinado de Alfonso X (1252- 1284 AD). En 1492 los judíos practicantes fueron expulsados de España. Se desparramaron por todo el Mediterráneo, conservando sobre todo en sus canciones su forma de hablar castellano. Se detallan las características principales de la lengua ladina. En su primer disco compacto Yasmin canta diez canciones en el ladino antiguo. En el segundo disco maneja una mayor variedad de fuentes y pretende „fusionar‟ el ladino y el flamenco. Se comentan dos canciones de cada disco. Dos discos posteriores y un DVD ofrecen más material para los profesores y estudiantes de Hispánicas que quieran comprender mejor la cultura de la Edad Media española. Palabras clave: Yasmin Levy. Romances ladinos. Canciones flamencas. Summary: Yasmin‟s career started with ballads from the Judaeo-Spanish (Sephardic) or Ladino tradition. Jewish communities, established in Spain since Roman times, flourished under Alfonso X (1252-1284 AD). In 1492 practising Jews were driven out of Spain. They re-settled all over the Mediterranean, preserving their 15th-century Spanish especially in their songs. The major features of Ladino are outlined.
