  • 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.

This directorate conducts analyses of security policy, regional analyses, studies of political-military issues, and strategy and force assessments. CNA Strategic Studies is part of the global community of strategic studies institutes and in fact collaborates with many of them. On the ground experience is a hallmark of our regional work. Our specialists combine in-country experience, language skills, and the use of local primary-source data to produce empirically based work. All of our analysts have advanced degrees, and virtually all have lived and worked abroad. Similarly, our strategists and military/naval operations experts have either active duty experience or have served as field analysts with operating Navy and Marine Corps commands. They are skilled at anticipating the “problem after next” as well as determining measures of effectiveness to assess ongoing initiatives. A particular strength is bringing empirical methods to the evaluation of peace-time engagement and shaping activities. The Strategic Studies Division’s charter is global. In particular, our analysts have proven expertise in the following areas: The full range of Asian security issues The full range of Middle East related security issues, especially Iran and the Arabian Gulf Maritime strategy Insurgency and stabilization Future national security environment and forces European security issues, especially the Mediterranean littoral West Africa, especially the Gulf of Guinea Latin America The world’s most important navies Deterrence, arms control, missile defense and WMD proliferation The Strategic Studies Division is led by Dr.

  • From “Decision” to “Victory”: Resolving the Confusion in Israeli Military
    Research Forum IDF exercise in southern Israel. Photo: IDF Spokesperson's Unit From “Decision” to “Victory”: Resolving the Confusion in Israeli Military Terminology Or Barak This article traces the relatively late evolution of the Hebrew term hachra’a (decision) in its military context in Israeli society and examines the ensuing conceptual confusion. It also points out the many original and borrowed meanings that have been attributed to this term over the years in military contexts and elaborates on the dangers inherent in this trend, especially obfuscation of the meaning of “victory.” This conceptual failure is expressed not only in the IDF’s language, but also, and more critically, in IDF doctrine. Hence, resolving the confusion created between the term hachra’a and the term victory can help not only by restoring the meaning of victory to its rightful place in the military context, but also by clarifying Israel’s security concept. Keywords: decision, victory, IDF strategy, security concept, national security 20 Strategic Assessment | Volume 24 | No. 2 | April 2021 Introduction security establishment and then penetrated the Upon assuming his post as Chief of Staff in 2019, Israeli media, generating conceptual confusion Lt.

  • Policy Paper on Israeli-Palestinian Separation
    The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute Position Paper Draft 1.8.2002 The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute Policy Paper Uri Sagie and Gilead Sher This Policy Paper outlines a plan for reshaping the daily reality and guaranteeing the vital interests of the State of Israel. The plan calls for a proactive separation in two stages, which will enable a resumption of negotiations with the Palestinians in the future. The document presents the principles of the plan and a detailed map. Their adoption by the Israeli leadership with broad public support will require a well-organized, sustained effort. Av 5762 July 2002 The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute initiated the research presented here as part of its efforts to enrich, deepen and enhance the public debate on central issues on the national agenda in Israel. This document is a draft for comment, critique and public discussion. It does not reflect a political position adopted by the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, its directors or employees. © 2002, The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute and the authors. 1 The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute Position Paper Draft 1.8.2002 2 The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute Position Paper Draft 1.8.2002 Executive Summary The historic conflict between Jews and Arabs is situated at a decisive crossroads. Just as half a century ago the Zionist movement grasped the initiative to guarantee the existence of a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, today a similar approach should be taken. In addition to the larger moral and political quandaries that accompany day-to-day life for most segments of the Israeli public, now they – and their leadership – must also grapple with strategic threats to the State of Israel, the loss of a sense of personal security, the entrenching of severe rifts within Israeli society, an economic crisis and breaches in the edifice of the rule of law.

  • Israel's Decision to Go to War, June 2, 1967
    ISRAEL’S DECISION TO GO TO WAR, JUNE 2, 1967 Ami Gluska* This article is adapted slightly from Ami Gluska, The Decisive Meeting in Planning the 1967 War, (Taylor and Francis, 2006). It appears in the series on military and strategic issues edited by Barry Rubin. Reprinted with permission. To order this book, click here. This article discusses the deliberations of Israeli government and army officials in the days preceding the beginning of the Six Day War. It illustrates the conflict and divide between the political and military echelons and the army’s mistrust of the civilian leadership. While the IDF pushed for preemptive offensive action, feeling this was a military must given the circumstances, the government was hesitant. Such delays were viewed by the IDF as potentially disastrous. Israel’s security policy, whose supreme aim had been deterrence and prevention of war, thus failed, resulting in the crisis and war in May-June 1967. However, good military planning and preparation won the war itself. On Friday, June 2, 1967, at 9:25 a.m., the “that for the time being things are going to expanded Israeli Ministerial Committee on ease up.”1 However, by the end of the Security met with the Israeli General Staff encounter, the general feeling was that the forum in the Pit war room.
