  • On Political Tradition and Ideology

    Open AccessYakov M Rabkin, Yakov Rabkin et al.ARTICLENationalities Papers2024References: 21

    This article concerns the endurance of political traditions brought to Palestine at the turn of the 20th century from the revolutionary milieu in Imperial Russia. The Russian Empire and its neighbors, which form most of today’s Eastern Europe and large swaths of Central Europe, was the homeland of most early Zionist settlers. They had acquired experience in a range of clandestine political organizations in the Russian Empire. It is this revolutio…

  • Two Orthodoxies and Science

    Yakov M RabkinARTICLEIsis2016References: 2

    This essay offers a comparative discussion of attitudes to science within Jewish and Christian Orthodoxies. When it touches on the contemporary period, it deals with different varieties of Jewish Orthodoxy rather than the more liberal Jewish denominations. Debates about science and religion, rarely involving active—let alone prominent—scientists, take place within both religious traditions. The issues can be roughly divided in two categories—cogn…

  • Russia, China and India and the Israel–Palestine Conflict

    Open AccessYakov M RabkinARTICLEHoly Land Studies2013

    Outside the Middle East, the future of Israel/Palestine is most often discussed in terms of US foreign policy, where the issue has also acquired religious overtones. This article examines the policies of three nuclear powers – Russia, China and India – on this issue. The analysis takes into account these countries' policies with respect to the entire region, including Iran, in which Russia and the two Asian giants have significant interests. Whil…

  • Judaism

    Open AccessYakov M RabkinARTICLEHoly Land Studies2011

    Judaism is often invoked as an obstacle to the resolution of the conflict in the Holy Land. While Israeli nationalists have made ample use of Judaic concepts, the founding fathers of Zionism and most of their followers have been estranged from religion. This paper analyses the role of different trends in Judaism in their relation to Zionism and to political applications of religion to sacralise the conflict in Palestine-Israel. While the relative…

  • Language in Nationalism

    Yakov M RabkinARTICLEJournal of Holy Land and…2010

    This article examines the history of Israel's lingua franca as a constituent of the Zionist project. Based largely on recent scholarship, this work sheds light on the role of language in the educational and political efforts to create a New Hebrew Man who, in contradistinction to the European Jew, was to live ‘as a free man’ in his own land. Reflecting Jewish experience in the Russian Empire, these efforts alienated traditional, particularly non-…

  • Spécificités nationales de la science et de la technologie

    Yakov M Rabkin, Thomas Owen EisemonARTICLERecherches sociographiques2005

    L'article rapporte les principaux résultats d'une étude comparative entre la science et la technologie. Les données proviennent d'une enquête auprès des professeurs des départements de chimie de McGill et de l'Université de Montréal, ainsi que de quatre départements de génie (homologues) dans chaque université. On cherche à savoir si certaines différences d'attitudes et de comportements peuvent s'expliquer par les spécificités disciplinaires ou s…
