The Trump Effect on Global Autocratization
Spokes of Regime Change in Israel
The proposal introduced in January 2023 for a ‘judicial overhaul’ in Israel has been characterized as a seismic event. Labeled a ‘reform’ by supporters and a ‘coup’ by skeptics, the proposal is better understood as part of a long process rather than a sudden event. This process involves gradual but persistent executive aggrandizement advanced by weakening multiple institutions of horizontal accountability and the media, alongside the imposition o…
In Memoriam
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Professor Gad Barzilai (1958–2023), who died on 10 April 2023. Gadi was an influential scholar in the fields of law and political science. He served as the president of the Association for Israel Studies (AIS) from 2011 to 2013. His leadership, exceptional scholarship, and vision helped shape the field of Israel studies and foster important intellectual debates on issues pertinent to Israeli society
The Fourth Phase of Palestinian Arab Politics in Israel
The article argues that the politics of the Arab minority in Israel has entered a new phase since the mid-2010s: centripetalism. Whereas the preceding two decades or so (the third phase) were characterized by claims in the name of Palestinian nationalism and organizational fragmentation, the centripetal phase is characterized by (1) a decline in the political salience of minority nationalism and a shift in focus to social and civic issues; (2) an…

Settlers in Contested Lands
Settlers feature in many protracted territorial disputes and ethnic conflicts around the world. Explaining the dynamics of the politics of settlers in contested territories in several contemporary cases, this book illuminates how settler-related conflicts emerge, evolve, and are significantly more difficult to resolve than other disputes. Written by country experts, chapters consider Israel and the West Bank, Arab settlers in Kirkuk, Moroccan set…
Bound by Tradition
Attempts to build a coalition government whose survival depends on support from ethnic minority parties have resulted in both Canada and Israel in widespread public disapproval and political turmoil. In turn, such arrangements have been deemed untenable even though otherwise powerful political elites had an interest in minority party inclusion. The comparable outcomes in these two cases are intriguing because the two parliamentary democracies dif…
From Independent Statehood to Minority Rights
The principle of self-determination has evolved considerably over the past century. Whereas in the twentieth century, it provided the premise for independent statehood, in the twenty-first century, the focus has shifted to minority rights within existing states. This article traces and explains the reasons for this evolution

Authoritarianism and Islamic Movements in the Middle East
In the previous decade, many scholars with expertise in the politics of the Middle East pointed to an intellectual gulf between Middle East studies and mainstream international and comparative political studies. Common perceptions that the Middle East experience was too exceptional to be theory-relevant and that area studies work was excessively a-theoretical were said to be responsible for the alleged chasm. If these concerns are taken at face v…
State mutability and ethnic civil society
This article identifies the phenomenon of ethnic civil society activism as mobilization that seeks to empower an ethnic community and challenges the institutional order. The case of the Palestinian Arab minority in Israel is discussed and is used to reveal the conditions under which disaffected minorities pursue the path of ethnic civil society. The study finds that an analytical framework that stresses the mutability of state structures and chan…
Helping the enemy? Why transnational Jewish philanthropic foundations donate to Palestinian NGOs in Israel
This article asks why transnational Jewish donor organisations have been increasingly providing financial support to Palestinian social movements and NGOs in Israel when many of the main recipients are strong critics of the Jewish character of the state and act to promote Palestinian national claims within Israel. The article evaluates a number of plausible explanations, some generated by interest‐centric theories while others are driven by ideat…
Dominant ethnicity
This article argues that the world is in the midst of a long‐term transition from dominant minority to dominant majority ethnicity. Whereas minority domination was common in premodern societies, modernity (with its accent on democracy and popular sovereignty) has engendered a shift to dominant majority ethnicity. The article begins with conceptual clarifications. The second section provides a broad overview of the general patterns of ethnic domin…
Religious—Nationalist Mobilization and State Penetration
When will public agencies act in violation of the rules set by the state in a strong state? This article demonstrates that when an organized religious— nationalist force manages to penetrate the state apparatus, it can cause the state to lose some enforcement capacity vis-à-vis the penetrating force. The activists, in turn, can use the infiltrated arms of the state to realize their preferences, even if the pursuant practices contradict state laws…

Structuring Conflict in the Arab World: Incumbents, Opponents, and Institutions , Ellen Lust-Okar, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005, pp. 279. For a very long time, the scholarship on Middle Eastern politics has suffered from scarce use of the analytical tools provided by the field of comparative politics. The result has too often been descriptive research in the anthropological style. Such studies lacked the rigour necessary for provid…
Palestinian NGOs in Israel
RIESEARCH ON THE POLITICS OF the Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel (PAI) has thus far focused mainly on parliamentary activity. In recent years, the PAI has also been resorting to mobilization through civil society associations, an area that has thus far received little scholarly attention. The absence of a theoretical link between the universalistic assumptions of civil society theories and the particularistic motivations behind communal mobil…
Linking Ideas and Opportunities in Contentious Politics
Theorists of contentious politics have been divided over the influence on agency behaviour of ideational or cultural factors on the one hand, and rational strategic calculations of opportunities on the other. Based on an Israeli nonparliamentary opposition movement to the peace process, this study presents an integrative approach in which ideational variables are elevated to the level of independent motivating forces in which the objectives of th…
A minority rule over a hostile majority
This article attempts to devise a conceptual framework for the analysis of continuous ethnic minority rule over hostile majorities. A synthesis of the cultural, modernist and psychological approaches to the study of ethnic conflict provides the grounds for the explanation of the ways in which the identities of the minority and majority were shaped throughout their history and why they became politically salient. On this basis, it is possible to u…
Entering the 21st Century
WHAT EFFECTS HAVE THE RECENT EVENTS in the Palestine territories and Israel had on the future stability of the Middle East? Despite murmurs of heightened regional antagonism and domestic social mobilization in response to the apparent setback to the peace process, we argue that the Middle East region is now underpinned by new strategic and political realities that will prevent a return to the patterns of conflict in the past. First, Middle East r…
