Everyday Indivisibility: How Exclusive Religious Practices Explain Variation in Subnational Violence Outcomes _______ A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies University of Denver _______ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ______ By Joel Keith Day August 2015 Advisor: Erica Chenoweth ©Copyright by Joel Keith Day 2015 All Rights Reserved Author: Joel Keith Day Title: Everyday Indivisibility: How Exclusive Religious Practices Explain Variation in Subnational Violence Outcomes Advisor: Erica Chenoweth Degree Date: August 2015 Abstract This project explores the puzzle of religious violence variation. Religious actors initiate conflict at a higher rate than their secular counterparts, last longer, are more deadly, and are less prone to negotiated termination. Yet the legacy of religious peacemakers on the reduction of violence is undeniable. Under what conditions does religion contribute to escalated violence and under what conditions does it contribute to peace? I argue that more intense everyday practices of group members, or high levels of orthopraxy, create dispositional indivisibilities that make violence a natural alternative to bargaining. Subnational armed groups with members whose practices are exclusive and isolating bind together through ritual practice, limit the acceptable decisions of leaders, and have prolonged timeframes, all of which result in higher levels of intensity, intransigence and resolve during violent conflict. The theory challenges both instrumentalist and constructivist understandings of social identity and violence. To support this argument, I construct an original cross-national data-set that employs ethnographic data on micro-level religious practices for 724 subnational armed groups in both civil wars and terror campaigns. Using this data, I build an explanatory “religious practice index” for each observation and examine its relationship with conflict outcomes. Findings suggest that exclusive practice groups fight significantly longer with ii more intensity and negotiate less. I also apply the practice model to qualitative cases. Fieldwork in the West Bank and Sierra Leone reveals that groups with more exclusive religious practicing membership are principle contributors to violence, whereas those with inclusive practices can contribute to peace. The project concludes with a discussion about several avenues for future research and identifies the practical policy applications to better identify and combat religious extremism. iii Acknowledgments Many people played key roles through my graduate education and the process of completing this dissertation in particular. I was fortunate to have a supportive committee: Jack Donnelly introduced me to practice-based social theory, while Nader Hashemi, and Monica Duffy Toft provided excellent advice and counsel. My advisor, Erica Chenoweth, is an unparalleled scholar and an even better mentor. Erica's model of excellence will remain with me forever. A Faculty Research Grant at the University of Denver provided funding for fieldwork in Israel. I am grateful for Allyson Hodges, Daren Fisher, and Laura Dugan for their companionship and assistance in Israel. My life-long friend, Grace Newman, suggested Sierra Leone as a case-study and proved instrumental during my fieldwork. The Josef Korbel School's Ph.D. program generously supported fieldwork in Salone. I am grateful to Mandi Donahoe, Pauline Moore, Kyleanne Hunter, Jonathan and Kandyce Pinckney, Jonathan Moyer, and Kevin Archer for being constant sounding- boards and true friends. I am also thankful for the Sollenbergers, Zoey DeWolf, Cris Huerta, Michael Hemmingway, the Decker-Smiths, and friends at First Plymouth UCC. This could not have been completed without my family. My parents supported my dreams and passions. My in-laws, Bob and Debi, tirelessly provided material and spiritual support. Lauren Ries, my partner, uniquely enabled this project, listened to my complaints with grace, and pushed me to be a better scholar and person. This project is dedicated to my “thesis-baby,” Robert Adlai Day, that he may live in a world where “nation shall not lift up sword against nation, and neither shall they learn war no more.” iv Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction to the Puzzle, Argument, Outline, and Contributions..................1 Competing Explanations......................................................................................................5 Disaggregated Measures of Religion.................................................................................13 Practice Theory and Observable Implications...................................................................14 Layout of the Dissertation..................................................................................................19 Scope of the Study.............................................................................................................25 Contributions......................................................................................................................27 Chapter 2: A Practice Approach to Religion and Violence...............................................34 What are Practices?............................................................................................................36 Propositional vs. Dispositional Approaches......................................................................41 Religion as Practice............................................................................................................42 The Site of the Religious Everyday ..................................................................................48 Conceiving of Practices as Inclusive/Exclusive................................................................52 Elements of Religious Practice..........................................................................................55 Indivisibility as TeleoAffective Structure..........................................................................65 Indivisibility and Conflict Dynamics.................................................................................73 Practice Disaggregation as Preferable to Propositional Alternatives................................80 Conclusion.........................................................................................................................96 Chapter 3: Quantitative Research Design and Analysis....................................................98 A Methodological Turn To Practice..................................................................................99 Indivisibility and Practice................................................................................................101 Research Design...............................................................................................................105 Unit of Analysis...............................................................................................................116 Methods............................................................................................................................123 Summary, Advantages and Limitations of Quantitative Analysis ..................................135 Chapter 4: Qualitative Research Design.........................................................................141 Tracing Practices .............................................................................................................143 Case Selection and Design...............................................................................................146 Research Tactics..............................................................................................................159 Conclusion.......................................................................................................................165 Chapter 5: Spoiling for a Fight: Jewish Vigilantism in the West Bank...........................167 Case A: The Hilltop Youth..............................................................................................174 Case B: Religious Zionists...............................................................................................207 v Case C: Ultra Orthodox...................................................................................................231 Alternative Explanations..................................................................................................249 Conclusion.......................................................................................................................259

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

  • West Bank Settlement Homes and Real Estate Occupation
    Neoliberal Settlement as Violent State Project: West Bank Settlement Homes and Real Estate Occupation Yael Allweil Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning, Technion and Israel Institute for Advanced Studies [email protected] Abstract Intense ideological debates over the legal status of West Bank settlements and political campaigns objecting to or demanding their removal largely neglect the underlying capitalist processes that construct these settlements. Building upon the rich scholarship on the interrelations of militarism and capitalism, this study explores the relationship between capitalist and militarist occupation through housing development. Pointing to neoliberalism as central to the ways in which militarism and capitalism have played out in Israeli settlement dynamics since 1967, this paper unpacks the mutual dependency of the Israeli settlement project on real estate capitalism and neoliberal governance. Through historical study of the planning, financing, construction, and architecture of settlement dwellings as real estate, as well as interviews and analysis of settler-produced historiographies, this paper identifies the Occupied Territories (OT) as Israel’s testing ground for neoliberal governance and political economy. It presents a complementary historiography for the settlement project, identifying three distinct periods of settlement as the product of housing real estate: neoliberal experimentation (1967-1994), housing militarization (1994-2005), and “real-estate-ization” (2005-present). Drawing on Maron and Shalev

  • The Bennett-Lapid ‘Change Government’
    BICOM Briefing The Bennett-Lapid ‘Change Government’ June 2021 The Bennett-Lapid ‘Change Government’ On Wednesday evening, 2 June, Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid informed President Rivlin that he had succeeded in forming a coalition government, adding that it would “work for all the citizens of Israel, those that voted for it and those that didn’t. It will do everything to unite Israeli society”. Swearing the new government into office, which only requires only a relative majority, will take place within the next 11 days. Yamina’s Naftali Bennett will serve as Prime Minister for the first two years, followed by Lapid. Maariv 1 June, Bennett and Lapid stare lovingly at eachother as the sun – with the face of Netan- yahu sets The Change Government How did we get here? The elections for the 24th Knesset which took place on 23 March 2021 gave neither the pro-Netanyahu bloc nor the anti-Netanyahu bloc a clear majority of 61 seats. Following the results, two parties who defined themselves as unaligned were considered to be key to both sides - Naftali Bennett of Yamina (7 seats) and Mansour Abbas of Raam (4 seats). Bennett emphasised his preference for a right-wing and ultra- Orthodox coalition. When Likud sources sent out feelers to Raam to support the government from outside 2 the coalition, that move was opposed by Bezalel Smotrich and his Religious Zionist party. With Saar unwilling to sit with Netanyahu, and Smotrich unwilling to countenance outside support from Raam, the pro-Netanyahu right-wing/ultra-Orthodox coalition could only muster 59 seats.

  • Religion in Israel
    Religion in Israel by Zvi YARON THE CONTROVERSY R.ELIGIO, N in the State of Israel has become noted for its poten- tial to generate strife. The frequent controversies over its role in society, an issue affecting the most sensitive areas of Israeli life, are acrimonious and harsh in tone. Many of them are accompanied by demonstrations and spiteful incidents instigated by extremists of all shades and opinions, rang- ing from the zealous Neture Karta to the frenetic League for the Prevention of Religious Coercion. No doubt, they reflect the acerbated feelings of many moderate Israelis. Religious disputes have arisen over education, the legal definition of "who is a Jew," the authority of the rabbinate, autopsies, marriage and divorce, the legal status of the common-law wife, the status of women, army service for girls and yeshivah students, Sabbath observ- ance, kashrut, the prohibition of pig-raising, and the closing of cinemas and theaters on religious holidays. Some people complain that Israel is a theocracy, arguing that religion intrudes into every important aspect of public and individual life and im- poses its authority on the governing of the state.1 At the same time, there is the often-heard lament that Israel is a radically secularist state, in which the religious areas are narrowly circumscribed and the decisive influences 'On the complexities of the meaning of theocracy (first used by Josephus in his Against Apion) and its application to modern Israel, see Mordecai Roshwald, "Theocracy in Israel in Antiquity and Today," Jewish Journal of Sociology, Vol. 14, No. 1, June 1972, pp.

  • Political Parties and Interest Groups In
    1 Political Parties and Interest Groups in Contemporary Israel Gregory Mahler1 December, 2007 The building blocks of Israeli democracy have been its political parties. Israel was described nearly fifty years ago as a parteienstaat, (“party-state”), and the role of political parties in the day-to-day operation of the polity has not diminished. In this session I want to discuss the structure and behavior of political parties and related interest groups, how political parties are organized in Israel, what their key issues are, and how they differ from each other. Then, my focus will shift to interest groups, another very important structure in the contemporary Israeli democratic arena. The Setting Israeli Parliamentary government. Model of Parliamentarism in Israel. The underlying factor in contemporary Israel that explains a good deal of the turbulence in the political system is that of the political party. The Israeli political system has been referred 1 This is substantially taken from Chapter 6, “Political Parties and Interest Groups,” in my recent book Politics and Government in Israel: The Maturation of a Modern State. Rowman and Littlefield, 2004. 2 to as a parteienstaat par excellence,1 and the description is appropriate. Political parties played an important role in Israel’s achieving statehood. One could even say that the State of Israel “was actually brought into existence by political parties, which were organized and developed entities . years before the coming of statehood.”2 Indeed, contemporary Israeli political parties are a direct link to the past in that virtually all have roots in some prestate political form.3 The Israeli political party system could almost be classified as overdeveloped.
