  • The Evidence from World Values Survey Data
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The return of religious Antisemitism? The evidence from World Values Survey data Tausch, Arno Innsbruck University and Corvinus University 17 November 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/90093/ MPRA Paper No. 90093, posted 18 Nov 2018 03:28 UTC The return of religious Antisemitism? The evidence from World Values Survey data Arno Tausch Abstract 1) Background: This paper addresses the return of religious Antisemitism by a multivariate analysis of global opinion data from 28 countries. 2) Methods: For the lack of any available alternative we used the World Values Survey (WVS) Antisemitism study item: rejection of Jewish neighbors. It is closely correlated with the recent ADL-100 Index of Antisemitism for more than 100 countries. To test the combined effects of religion and background variables like gender, age, education, income and life satisfaction on Antisemitism, we applied the full range of multivariate analysis including promax factor analysis and multiple OLS regression. 3) Results: Although religion as such still seems to be connected with the phenomenon of Antisemitism, intervening variables such as restrictive attitudes on gender and the religion-state relationship play an important role. Western Evangelical and Oriental Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism are performing badly on this account, and there is also a clear global North-South divide for these phenomena. 4) Conclusions: Challenging patriarchic gender ideologies and fundamentalist conceptions of the relationship between religion and state, which are important drivers of Antisemitism, will be an important task in the future. Multiculturalism must be aware of prejudice, patriarchy and religious fundamentalism in the global South.

  • The Failure of the EU in the Global “Lisbon Process” : a Cross-National, Quantitative Tribute to the Relevance of the Economic Theories of Professor Panayotopoulos
    European Research Studies, Volume XI, Issue (3) 2008 The Failure of the EU in the Global “Lisbon Process” : A Cross-national, Quantitative Tribute to the Relevance of the Economic Theories of Professor Panayotopoulos By Arno Tausch 1 Abstract In this paper we analyze the Lisbon performance of the countries of the European Union from a long-term, structural perspective. It again turns out that first of all things get worse, before they get better – the old wisdom of classical development economics (Kuznets) and political science modernization theory of the postwar period. In addition, it emerges that foreign savings, “economic freedom”, low comparative international price levels, and World Bank type pension reforms are not compatible with a solid and long- run development path, based on our knowledge of 17 component variables, integrating the dimensions growth, environment, human rights, basic human needs satisfaction, and gender equality. In addition, European Union membership (EU-15, “old Europe”) has the numerically highest negative effect on the global Lisbon process; while Muslim population shares in no way bloc the development process, on the contrary. Neo-liberal globalization strategies are condemned to failure; while European decision makers in particular would be strongly advised to re-think their Lisbon strategy, which pushes countries towards accepting strategies, which, inter alia, lower instead of increase the comparative international price level. Is a price level of say, the Congo’s dimension, really the aim of the Lisbon process? Balassa and Samuelson assumed that rising international price levels for the periphery country are a precondition of positive development. Falling relative price levels would suggest in the neo-classical argument that the price of the non- tradables in the European economy decreased dramatically over time.

  • Muslim-Majority Countries: the Evidence from International Comparative Survey Data
    Muslim Integration or Alienation in Non- Muslim-Majority Countries: The Evidence from International Comparative Survey Data Arno Tausch INTRODUCTION This article tries to evaluateMuslim integration or Muslim alienation—if such a thing exists—in non-Muslim-majority countries by rigorous quantitative analysis of existing open and freely accessible international opinion-survey data in a comparative perspective. Such investigations, based on the European Social Survey and other opinion data on the issues under scrutiny here, are not new and have been attempted in the past.1 We are interested in how much Muslim communities in non-Muslim- majority countries, especially in Western democracies, are living above or below the poverty line, whether they trust democracy, the legal system, the parliament, the police, and so on. Of course, international political decision-makers are free to draw their conclusions from our results, which are a continuation of such investigations since the availability of the European Social Survey data in 2002.2 In our context, such questions are primarily aimed at assessing political stability. If citizens trust democracy, the legal system, the parliament, and the police, there is less dissatisfaction and likelihood of various kinds of rebellion. While the debate about “Islam” in the West is now endless, it is surprising that hard-core comparable data are rather scarce. But going back as far as Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, and the writings of the founding generation of quantitative social science in the 1930s, social science—even in times of heated political debate—must be able to come up with concrete and reliable information on the when, who, what, where, why, 55 Jewish Political Studies Review and how of phenomena.3 Hence we are not interested in the question, however much we might sympathize with or reject a positive answer, of whether “Islam” “belongs” to Europe, America, or Israel.

  • Support for Terrorism in Muslim Majority Countries and Implications for Immigration Policies in the West
    Support for Terrorism in Muslim Majority Countries and Implications for Immigration Policies in the West Russell A. Berman and Arno Tausch The Wind of Change across Europe With elections in 2017 in key European Union states (France: presidential, April 23, second round May 7, National Assembly, June 11, second round June 18; Germany: Federal Diet, September 24; Netherlands: Second Chamber, March 15),1 an intensified debate about migration to Europe and Middle East terrorism – its origins, trajectories, dangers, and the extent of its mass support – is highly likely. Marine Le Pen, leader of the far right Front National in France, predicted that European elections in 2017 will bring a wind of change across the region.2 With the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom and Donald Trump’s US presidential victory, far right political parties throughout Europe are now capitalizing on Euroscepticism and anxieties about migration.3 German Chancellor Angela Merkel appears to have responded to Le Pen’s challenge by defending her own refugee policy as an act of moral and legal obligation by a “state of laws,” while asserting that Europeans must stand by the principle of offering asylum to all those fleeing war and oppression.4 The fact that the Berlin terrorist Amis Amri was shot in Milan, Italy, after crossing several European borders following his attack in the heart of Germany, where he had previously applied for asylum, further fuels the controversy about the alleged failures of existing European refugee, immigration, and security policies.5 Prof. Russell A. Berman, the Walter A. Haas Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University, is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

  • Post-Islamism in Tunisia and Egypt: Contradictory Trajectories
    religions Article Post-Islamism in Tunisia and Egypt: Contradictory Trajectories Houssem Ben Lazreg Department of Modern Languages & Cultural Studies, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R3, Canada; [email protected] Abstract: In the wake of the Tunisian Revolution of 2011, Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi distanced his party from the main Islamist paradigm, which is spearheaded primarily by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and announced the separation of the religious movement entirely from its political wing (al-Siyasi and al-da’awi). In addition to reassuring Tunisians that Ennahda’s socio- political project is rooted in its “Tunisianity,” these measures aimed at signaling Ennahda’s joining the camp of post-Islamist parties and Muslim democrats such as the AKP in Turkey and the JDP in Morocco. In this article, using the comparative case studies, I examine the patterns, similarities, and differences between the Tunisian Ennahda party and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in terms of their evolutions from an Islamist to a post-Islamist discourse and identity. I argue that the Ennahda party outpaced the Muslim Brotherhood in that shift considering the local/regional realities and the new compromises dictated by the post-revolutionary political processes in both countries. Although the Muslim Brotherhood managed to come to power and govern for only one year before being deposed by the army, Ennahda’s political pragmatism (consensus, compromise, and coalition) enabled it to fare well, ultimately prodding the party to adapt and reposition itself intellectually and politically. Keywords: Ennahda party; Islamism; Muslim brotherhood; post-Islamism; political Islam; Rached Citation: Ben Lazreg, Houssem. Ghannouchi 2021.

  • Is Globalization Really Good for Public Health? General Considerations and Implications for the Arab World
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Is globalization really good for public health? General considerations and implications for the Arab world Tausch, Arno 21 May 2015 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/64516/ MPRA Paper No. 64516, posted 23 May 2015 12:13 UTC Is globalization really good for public health? General considerations and implications for the Arab world Arno Tausch Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Innsbruck University Associate Professor of Economics, Corvinus University, Budapest Universitätsstraße 15, 2. Stock West A-6020 Innsbruck E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] personal academic website: http://uibk.academia.edu/ArnoTausch (academia.edu) 1 ABSTRACT Background: A positive assessment of the role of globalization as a driver of a good public health performance has been the result of major new studies in the field. But the present re- analysis shows that neo-liberal globalisation has resulted in increasing inequality, which in turn negatively affects global health performance. This conclusion is valid on a global level but it also holds for the majority of the Arab countries, which are currently undergoing very dramatic political and social transformations, which have fundamental repercussions for the Western world. Methods: Standard IBM/SPSS OLS regressions and partial correlations with cross-national and time series aggregate, freely available data. The article also re-analysed the data, provided by Mukherjee N. and Krieckhaus J. Globalization and Human Well-Being. International Political Science Review, March 2012; vol. 33, 2: pp. 150-170. Results: We can show that different types of globalization processes affect public health performance differently.

  • Dimensions of Globalization
    DIMENSIONS OF GLOBALIZATION RE-ORIENT? UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY SHIFTS IN THE GLOBAL POLITICAL ECONOMY* Arno Tausch and Almas Heshmati This article analyses the logic of the current global economic crisis by using the IMF estimates of economic growth in 180 countries (IMF 2009), and links the results to the ‘Re-Orient’ approach, put forward by Frank (1998). With global economic gravitation shifting to the Indian Ocean / Pacific region, the article also analyses the role of MNC (foreign capital) penetration as the key variable of past quantitative dependency studies for contemporary eco- nomic growth and social performance. In a Schumpeterian fashion, MNC penetration reflects the power, which transnational oligopolies wield over lo- cal economies. Today, social polarization and stagnation increase as a con- sequence of the development model, based on high MNC penetration. Keywords: international relations and international political economy, eco- nomic development, technological change, growth, economic integration, oli- gopoly, market imperfection, cross-sectional models, spatial models, treat- ment effect models, quintile regressions. 1. Introduction Re-Orient (Frank 1998) might be the catchword for the analysis of the world order, cur- rently emerging from the profoundest economic crisis the world has seen since the Great Depression, which started in 1929. The current economic and social crisis is a temptation for social scientists to reconsider well-established assumptions of the dis- cipline. The depth of the crisis, especially
