Ethics on the edge: Outlier legislators, political crises, and sanctioning dynamics in the Israeli Knesset (1984–2024)
This study examines an overlooked aspect of legislative behaviour in Israel: the ethical conduct of Knesset members and the parliament’s responses to it. Drawing on 224 sanctioning decisions issued by the Ethics Committee between 1984 and 2024, it introduces an initial model distinguishing external factors – critical events, affective polarisation, and populist rhetoric – from internal factors, including outlier legislators, chairperson seniority…
Special votes and voter turnout in Israel’s 2022 elections
Employing the parliamentary committee of inquiry as an oversight tool: Israel as a case study
A parliamentary committee of inquiry (PCI) is one of the tools with which a parliament carries out its oversight function. It enables the parliament to conduct in-depth investigations of particular issues, uncover failures and corruption, and increase accountability and transparency of the government. Surprisingly, despite its value, the PCI has received little scholarly attention. This research focuses on PCIs in Israel’s parliament (the Knesset…
Gender quotas and media representation of female members of parliament under authoritarianism: The case of Egypt
Media representation of members of parliament in Egypt: A reality of gender imbalance
This study joins recent studies that explore the meanings of the political representation of women resulting from a gender quota, through examination of their media representation. Drawing on studies on gendered mediation and women's political representation and using a content analysis method, we examine the quantity and the quality of gender media representation of Egyptian members of parliament. The findings show a nuanced picture in which the…
Personalized politics and weakened parties—an axiom? Evidence from the Israeli case
Personalization of politics describes a process in which the power of individual politicians rises, ostensibly at the expense of the parties. This is manifested, among other ways, by the manner in which politicians use parliamentary tools. In this study, we focus on one such tool, the private member bill, assessing whether its use necessarily expresses personal behavior, which weakens the party, as suggested in the literature—or not. To test this…
Gender Gaps in the Center versus the Periphery
Recent evidence from industrialized countries shows that men and women tend to exhibit different voting preferences, with greater proportions of women favoring left-wing parties. This phenomenon, known as the ‘modern gender gap’, has been observed in recent Israeli elections as well. After discussing the history of the ‘traditional gender gap’, the article examines the gender gap in the 2013 and 2015 Israeli elections from a geographical and soci…
Vehicles of opposition influence or agents of the governing majority? Legislative committees and private members’ bills in the Hungarian Országgyűlés and the Israeli Knesset
In this article, we assess the role and the strength of the legislative committee system of two legislatures: the Hungarian Országgyűlés and the Israeli Knesset, by looking at the fate of private member bills over the past four legislative cycles (1998–2014 in Hungary and 2006–2019 in Israel). We find that Israeli committees allow opposition PMBs to succeed at a significantly higher rate than Hungarian committees do, even though the formal proper…
Participation in the Nineteenth Knesset Elections: Center versus Periphery 1
In the comparative literature, aggregate-level explanations for voter turnout are often economics-based, with a common variable being the level of economic development of countries. The socioeconomic approach has focused, for more than fifty years, on the relationship between the social and economic situation of the individual and his or her participation in elections. For the nineteenth Knesset elections, polling stations were set up in 1,184 lo…
Who turned out at the polls? Socioeconomic and geographic perspectives on 2015 voter turnouts in Israel
2015 was an important year in the history of Israeli general elections: voter turnout rose by 4.5% compared to the 2013 elections, exceeding the 70% threshold after 16 years of low rates. Interesting as this may be, a more interesting question is: who were the voters turning out at the polls in the 2015 elections (and where)? When looking at the election results from the municipal perspective, we can see a variance between localities: turnouts we…
Gendering security: The substantive representation of women in the Israeli parliament
The study focuses on the links between gender and national security in the legislative arena in Israel, considering whether men and women legislators prioritize security differently, alongside other thematic policy areas. The centrality of national security issues in Israeli politics makes it a good case study for these questions, as it enhances existing gendered stereotypes. The article examines two competing hypotheses. The first suggests that …
Oversight by the State Control Committee in the Israeli parliament: Form of accountability under stress
Efficient parliamentary oversight is dependent primarily on an active committee system, which enables its members to penetrate the surface of government activity and to ensure that the concept of 'public accountability' is substantive. The most important committee founded to achieve the oversight task is the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), first instituted in the British Parliament in 1861. This article investigates the Public Accounts Committee…
From a Top-Down to a Bottom-Up Approach to Legislative Oversight
Over the years there have been several studies of oversight in the context of the US Congress; much less attention, however, has been paid to the study of oversight in parliamentary systems. Comparative studies spearheaded by several international organisations in recent years offer a different perspective of legislative oversight. They emphasise a new concept, oversight potential, and suggest that strengthening this potential would help promote …
Israel's Prolonged War against Terror: From Executive Domination to Executive–Legislative Dialogue
Terrorism and anti-terrorist policies are not recent phenomena in Israel. The state's foundation was followed by six decades of terrorist attacks, and the responses of successive governments and the Knesset have evolved over time. Legislative oversight of the executive's anti-terrorist policies was essentially non-existent until the 1980s, almost half Israel's history. Since then, MKs have enhanced their institution's oversight capabilities, exhi…

Poststent ballooning/angioplasty (post-SB) have been shown to increase the risk of stroke risk after transfemoral carotid artery stenting. With the advancement of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) with dynamic cerebral blood flow reversal, we aimed to study the impact of post-SB during TCAR.Patients undergoing TCAR in the Vascular Quality Initiative between September 2016 and May 2019 were included and were divided into three groups: t…

Faut-il qu'un paysage soit ouvert ou fermé ? L'exemple de la pelouse sèche du causse Méjan
How can we analyse what is behind landscapes policy and ‘nature rehabilitation’ in less-favoured agricultural areas? The paper takes as an example dry chalk grasslands in the Causse Méjan (an UNESCO biosphere reserve) which has been the site of major interdisciplinary and interprofessional research for more than twenty years (Observatoire du Causse Méjan, Programme Piren, CNRS). It points out the differences and opposition between the conceptions…
