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. -

What are the factors influencing the representation of women in Israeli politics? How Women in Israeli Politics has their representation changed over the years, and would the imposition of quotas be a good idea? A Comparative Perspective This policy paper examines the representation of women in Israeli politics from a comparative perspective. Its guiding premise is that women’s representation in politics, and particularly in legislative bodies, is of great importance in that it is tightly bound to liberal and democratic principles. According to some researchers, it is also important because female legislators Policy Paper 10E advance “female” issues more than male legislators do. While there has been a noticeable improvement in the representation of women in Israeli politics over the years, the situation in Israel is still fairly poor in this regard. This paper Assaf Shapira | Ofer Kenig | Chen Friedberg | looks at the impact of this situation on women’s status and Reut Itzkovitch-Malka gender equality in Israeli society, and offers recommendations for improving women’s representation in politics.

SOVIET IMMIGRATION to the WEST BANK: IS IT LEGAL?*
SOVIET IMMIGRATION To THE WEST BANK: IS IT LEGAL?* John Quigley** Immigration by Soviet Jews to Israel, which began in large numbers in 1990, added a new element to the delicate political equation that is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The introduction of a new popu- lation of Jews reduced the likelihood of settlement between the Pa- lestinians and Israel. In addition, the immigration caused problems for all the governments concerned. The impact on the Palestine Arabs in the West Bank concerned the U.S.S.R. Israel asked governments in eastern Europe to assist in transporting the immigrants to Israel, and some agreed. The number of immigrants taxed Israel's capacity to absorb them. As a financial contributor to Israel, the United States helped fund the immigration. It also influenced the numbers going to Israel, because the United States was the favored destination of most emigrating Soviet Jews. The Palestine Arabs objected to the immigration, which arguably violated their legal rights. While in general a state may admit any foreigners it chooses, Israel was in an unusual situation. Part of the territory it controlled, in particular the West Bank, was under its military (belligerent) occupation, and an occupying power may not settle the territory it occupies. This article asks whether the Soviet immigration involves a breach of legal obligation towards the Palestine Arabs by any of the states involved, and if it does, what remedies are available. I. THE SOVIET JEWISH IMMIGRATION TO ISRAEL Under international law a person has, with certain exceptions, a right to leave her or his country to take residence abroad.' But a * Editor's Note: although the recent dissolution of the Soviet Union and the advent of the Mideast peace talks have altered the geopolitical dynamics discussed in this article, Professor Quigley's analysis of the core issues of international law remains timely. -

It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” – Genesis 3:17-19 “Now, Ananda, when a monk or brahman says thus: ‘It seems that there are evil kammas [karmas], there is the result of misconduct,’ I concede that to him. “When he says thus: ‘For I have seen that some person killed living beings, took what is not given, misconducted himself in sexual desires, spoke falsehood, spoke maliciously, spoke harshly, gossiped, was covetous, was ill-willed, and had wrong view. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 765 S b^S% Thesis Abstract This thesis makes a contribution to the study of Israeli foreign policy, Israeli-American relations and the role of Israeli political culture in foreign policy. First, all the works on American-Israeli relations focus on American policy. Second, works examining the role of Israeli values in foreign policy focus primarily on the values of the Israeli right, usually purely in regard to the Palestinian question and use a concept of political culture that is static. In contrast, this thesis examines, US-Israeli relations from the Israeli view point and encompasses the impact of the Israeli left's values on policy. Moreover, it uses a concept of political culture that is fluid rather than static.
