    G Ariely•ARTICLE•Israeli Studies Review•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    Using the 2023 controversy over Israel's judicial overhaul as a case, this article analyzes the broader, decades-long debate about the nature of the Israeli regime.

  • The Eurovision song contest and the potential of unintended events and public diplomacy

    Open Access•Hila Zahavi, G Ariely•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary European…•2024•References: 23

    This article focuses on the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) as a potential tool for EU public diplomacy.Institutionally, the ESC, a pan-European international mega-event that forms images of Europe, is not related to the EU.Yet, given the strong link between the ESC and the notion of Europe, the article suggests that the ESC might have unintentionally become a public diplomacy tool for the EU.This argument is supported by showing how public views o…

  • Testing the National Identity Argument in a Time of Crisis – Evidence from Israel

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Nationalities Papers•2024•References: 62

    This article explores the national identity argument in unsettled times by using the COVID-19 pandemic as a test case. It uses a longitudinal survey among Jewish Israelis to examine whether the pandemic influenced levels of national identity and solidarity and whether it altered their relationship. The findings indicate a clear reduction in levels of solidarity, national attachment, and national chauvinism over time. They also show that the posit…

  • National identity as a cultural filter

    Open Access•G Ariely, Hila Zahavi et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of European Integration•2023•Cited by: 3•References: 21

    This article proposes that national identity is regarded as a key cultural filter for understanding external perceptions of the EU among the public. It examines the relationship between national identity and attitudes toward the EU in Israel while considering the distinction between national identification and national chauvinism via two survey studies. Study 1 (N = 1050) used Israel’s hosting of the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 to explore the re…

  • State of Nationalism (SoN)

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Studies on National Movements•2021

    Are we witnessing the fall of nationalism to globalization? In his classic Nations and Nationalism Since 1780, Eric Hobsbawm argued that over the course of time nationalism would no longer be a vital political program and the world would become 'largely supranational'. 1 Or do we take Anthony Smith's conclusion in Nation and Nationalism in the Global Era (1995) that such predictions are too optimistic and that supranational identities will not re…

  • Israel's Regime Untangled

    Open Access•G Ariely•BOOK•Israel's Regime Untangled•2021

    Israel attracts enormous attention among scholars, journalists, politicians, and the general public. Some regard the country as an apartheid regime that can only be challenged through boycotts and sanctions. Others believe it is a stable liberal democracy, created under extreme conditions. This book seeks to unravel these conflicting interpretations by focusing on three questions: How can the Israeli regime be classified? What are the borders of …

  • Collective memory and attitudes toward asylum seekers

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•New Community•2021•Cited by: 10•References: 68

    This study claims that collective memory has implications for attitudes toward immigration and, particularly, toward refugees and asylum seekers and adds to the factors that shape public opinion on immigration. By using the case of collective memory of the Holocaust in Israel, it examines whether different interpretations of a historical event like the Holocaust are related to attitudes toward asylum seekers and asks specifically: (1) Does collec…

  • Historical analogies under dispute

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Memory Studies•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 26

    This article examines the characteristics that shape different public reactions to analogies of historical events while emphasizing the role of national identity.

  • Measuring dimensions of national identity across countries

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•National Identities•2019•Cited by: 16•References: 38

    Two principal dimensions are commonly identified within the complex phenomenon of national identity: national boundaries and attachment to the nation. Few studies have sought to examine them together. By their combination, this study is based on the premise of the tension between a more open and inclusive view of the nation, as reflected in civic identity and patriotism, and a more closed and exclusionary conception, as reflected in ethnic identi…

  • National Days, National Identity, and Collective Memory

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2019•Cited by: 20•References: 47

    This study uses the case of Holocaust Day in Israel to examine the premise that national days impact national identity and collective memory. Specifically, the study examines whether a very unique type of national day—Holocaust Day—impacts national identification, nationalism, and collective memory in the form of Israeli Jews' perceptions of the “lessons” of the Holocaust. This study uses panel survey design data on national identity and percepti…

  • The nexus between globalization and ethnic identity

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2019•Cited by: 14•References: 50

    While some studies have examined the impact of globalization on national identity ‘from below’, their findings are inconclusive, some arguing that national identity is less important for people in more globalized countries, others finding evidence to the contrary. Addressing and resolving some of the previous studies limitations, this article investigates the relationship between globalization and national identity with four cross-national survey…

  • Political Culture and Israeli Politics

    G Ariely•CHAPTER•Oxford Handbook of Israeli…•2018

    This chapter provides a broad overview of the political culture in Israel. It begins by discussing whether a single Israeli political culture can indeed be identified. It then surveys the principal factors that shape political culture and the key changes from the early days of nation-building attempts to Israel’s current, more multicultural character. Making use of a cultural-value map, the chapter then addresses the question of whether Israel’s …

  • Evaluations of patriotism across countries, groups, and policy domains

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•New Community•2018•Cited by: 2•References: 43

    Numerous studies have examined the level of patriotism across countries, the factors that shape patriotic feelings, and the ways in which diverse dimensions of patriotism are related to a broad set of attitudes and behaviours. Citizen evaluation of patriotism, in particular in the context of majorities and minorities, has seldom been investigated, however. Exploring this issue, this paper discusses the ways in which majorities and minorities view…

  • Why does patriotism prevail? Contextual explanations of patriotism across countries

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•Identities•2017

    Addressing the normative and empirical debate regarding the nature of patriotism, this paper examines the social contexts in which patriotism – defined here as an expression of national pride – thrives. Combining diverse theoretical explanations, it investigates whether expressions of patriotism are related to globalization, state function, social fractionalization and conflict. A multilevel regression analysis of data from 93 countries led to th…

    Open Access•G Ariely, Eric M Uslaner•ARTICLE•International Political Science…•2017•Cited by: 18•References: 19

    This study examines two prominent arguments underlying perceptions of corruption – Uslaner’s “inequality trap” thesis, according to which high inequality leads to low trust and thus greater corruption ad infinitum – and the unfairness theory. The perception of corruption was measured across 31 countries via the 2006 Role of Government module of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP). The findings indicate that, in line with the “inequalit…

A negative link obtained between national and global identification in most of the countries, the cross-country v…

  • Why does patriotism prevail? Contextual explanations of patriotism across countries

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•Identities•2017

    Addressing the normative and empirical debate regarding the nature of patriotism, this paper examines the social contexts in which patriotism – defined here as an expression of national pride – thrives. Combining diverse theoretical explanations, it investigates whether expressions of patriotism are related to globalization, state function, social fractionalization and conflict. A multilevel regression analysis of data from 93 countries led to th…

  • Corruption, fairness, and inequality

    Open Access•G Ariely, Eric M Uslaner•ARTICLE•International Political Science…•2017•Cited by: 18•References: 19

    This study examines two prominent arguments underlying perceptions of corruption – Uslaner’s “inequality trap” thesis, according to which high inequality leads to low trust and thus greater corruption ad infinitum – and the unfairness theory. The perception of corruption was measured across 31 countries via the 2006 Role of Government module of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP). The findings indicate that, in line with the “inequalit…

  • Remembrance Day influence on national sentiments and hostility towards out-groups

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2017•Cited by: 10•References: 41

    While scholars have long emphasized the significant impact of national days on the masses, the actual impact of national days on people's national sentiments have been ignored. This study set out to examine the ways in which exposure to Remembrance Day impacts national sentiments and hostility towards out-groups. Unlike previous cross-sectional-design studies, it adopted longitudinal design in order to explore the actual impact of exposure to Rem…

  • Political Culture and Israeli Politics

    G Ariely•CHAPTER•Oxford Handbook of Israeli…•2018

    This chapter provides a broad overview of the political culture in Israel. It begins by discussing whether a single Israeli political culture can indeed be identified. It then surveys the principal factors that shape political culture and the key changes from the early days of nation-building attempts to Israel’s current, more multicultural character. Making use of a cultural-value map, the chapter then addresses the question of whether Israel’s …

  • Evaluations of patriotism across countries, groups, and policy domains

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•New Community•2018•Cited by: 2•References: 43

    Numerous studies have examined the level of patriotism across countries, the factors that shape patriotic feelings, and the ways in which diverse dimensions of patriotism are related to a broad set of attitudes and behaviours. Citizen evaluation of patriotism, in particular in the context of majorities and minorities, has seldom been investigated, however. Exploring this issue, this paper discusses the ways in which majorities and minorities view…

  • Measuring dimensions of national identity across countries

    G Ariely•ARTICLE•National Identities•2019•Cited by: 16•References: 38

    Two principal dimensions are commonly identified within the complex phenomenon of national identity: national boundaries and attachment to the nation. Few studies have sought to examine them together. By their combination, this study is based on the premise of the tension between a more open and inclusive view of the nation, as reflected in civic identity and patriotism, and a more closed and exclusionary conception, as reflected in ethnic identi…

  • National Days, National Identity, and Collective Memory

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2019•Cited by: 20•References: 47

    This study uses the case of Holocaust Day in Israel to examine the premise that national days impact national identity and collective memory. Specifically, the study examines whether a very unique type of national day—Holocaust Day—impacts national identification, nationalism, and collective memory in the form of Israeli Jews' perceptions of the “lessons” of the Holocaust. This study uses panel survey design data on national identity and percepti…

  • The nexus between globalization and ethnic identity

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Ethnicities•2019•Cited by: 14•References: 50

    While some studies have examined the impact of globalization on national identity ‘from below’, their findings are inconclusive, some arguing that national identity is less important for people in more globalized countries, others finding evidence to the contrary. Addressing and resolving some of the previous studies limitations, this article investigates the relationship between globalization and national identity with four cross-national survey…

  • Historical analogies under dispute

    Open Access•G Ariely•ARTICLE•Memory Studies•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 26

    This article examines the characteristics that shape different public reactions to analogies of historical events while emphasizing the role of national identity. It analyzes responses by Israeli Jews to comparisons between the situation of African asylum seekers in Israel and Jews during the Holocaust via a letter written by Holocaust survivors against the proposed forced deportation of asylum seekers in 2018. A population-based survey experimen…
