Energy infrastructures in divided cities
Within the rich literature on politically divided cities, infrastructure has rarely featured as a medium of urban contestation. Only transportation infrastructure has merited attention of late. This paper presents an in-depth investigation of energy infrastructures as instruments of separation, control and collaboration in three iconic divided cities: Berlin, Jerusalem and Nicosia. The purpose of the paper is threefold: 1) to identify the multipl…

The paradox of permission: Why governments allow foreign actors to promote solar energy projects in disputed cities
Infrastructure sovereignty: Battling over energy dominance in Jerusalem
This article explores the intersection between nationality, urban space and critical infrastructures through the lens of urban infrastructure politics. It analyses the struggle between the Israeli government and the Palestinian national movement over the Jerusalem District Electricity Company between 1967 and 1987. Based primarily on archival documents and sources, we suggest that each political community aspires to obtain ‘infrastructure soverei…
The role of community–private sector partnerships in the diffusion of environmental innovation: Renewable energy in Southern Israel
Local communities have been identified as crucial actors in the diffusion of renewable energy, considered one of the most important eco-innovations of our time. Anecdotal evidence has indicated that local communities tend to play different roles in promoting eco-innovation, particularly renewable energy. However, what this heterogeneity looks like has not yet been quantitatively examined. Our study addresses this gap by systematically exploring t…
The impact of precarious security conditions on renewable electrification: The case of the West Bank
Penny wise or pound foolish? Compensation schemes and the attainment of community acceptance in renewable energy
Comparative Energy Regionalism: North America and the European Energy Community
Although literature on energy cooperation highlights that cooperation is more successful at the regional level, it largely fails to understand and conceptualize energy cooperation as part of the wider phenomenon of regionalism. Energy cooperation tends to be analyzed through prisms of security and geopolitics, thus, downplaying other important regional integration processes. The present paper addresses this lacuna, defining energy regionalism and…
Light at the End of the Panel: The Gaza Strip and the Interplay Between Geopolitical Conflict and Renewable Energy Transition
Renewable energy transition is one of the keys to mitigating climate change. While attention has been given to various economic, institutional, technological, and sociocultural barriers to this transition, it is unclear how acute interstate conflict shadowed by geopolitical forces shapes the deployment of renewables. The literature is split between those who speculate that conflict conditions discourage renewable energy proliferation and their cr…
The strategic use of normative arguments in international negotiations
This article claims that normative arguments play a greater role in negotiations than existing scholarship implies. While the approaches of communicative and rhetorical action limit the use of arguments to environments that meet certain conditions, in fact normative arguments are widely used and can be found in almost every example of negotiations. This article seeks to explain this phenomenon. Negotiating parties that feel obligated to tackle no…
Energy as a Rewarding and Punitive Foreign Policy Instrument: The Case of Israeli–Palestinian Relations
This article examines how and when energy is used as a punitive or rewarding measure to advance foreign policy ends under conditions of perpetual conflict. Drawing on hundreds of primary governmental and commercial documents, and extensive elite interviews, we examine Israeli–Palestinian relations over 50 years. We find extensive instrumentalization of energy for foreign policy objectives in the conflict. We highlight electricity, a neglected are…

Transpersonal Space/Time Through the Arts
As transpersonal researchers and practitioners work to articulate the meaning of transpersonal individually and collectively, I suggest conceptualizing transpersonal space/time as real in a physically felt sense. This embodied knowing is best practiced and expressed through the arts. The premise is situated within a larger field using the term liminal as a parallel meaning construct for transpersonal I present my own work referencing a range of d…

An Action Plan or a Plan for Action? Israel and the European Neighbourhood Policy
The European Neighbourhood Policy appears to mark a major shift in the European Union's approach in its relations with Mediterranean non-member countries. As such, the new policy seems to divert its attention from the regional approach advocated in the Barcelona Process to bilateralism, whereby the partners can further and deepen their relations on the basis of common interests and good will. In this regard, the Action Plan agreed by Israel and t…
Researching the Images of Evil Events: An Arts-Based Methodology in Liminal Space
This article explores an arts-based methodology for nonparticipant researchers to engage potentially overwhelming images of evil events. Nonparticipants in evil events such as genocide must access and stay engaged with images of these events to take informed action in the world. Linear discourse and historical facts do not adequately convey this disturbing material. Images are accessible to researchers in liminal space: the space between historic…
A Dollar Estimate of Soviet Foreign Trade, 1947-1951
THE pattern of Soviet participation in foreign trade since World War II has been radically altered as a result of the farreaching changes wrought by the war in the international relations of the U.S.S.R. Unfortunately, firm and direct information on Russia's annual transactions in international trade is unavailable inasmuch as the Soviet Government has continued to maintain a blackout of information, introduced at the end of I938, on this vital s…
