Anticipating global and diffuse risks to prevent conflict and governance breakdown: Lessons from the EU’s southern neighbourhood
Where societies display sufficient resilience to global and diffuse risks they are able to avoid tipping-over into governance breakdown and violent conflict. Similarly, if external actors such as the EU wish to build resilience in Europe’s volatile neighbourhood, they require a systematic understanding of global and diffuse risks and tipping-points in order to develop long-term resilience-building strategies. But how should global and diffuse ris…
Fighting Terrorism: The Democracy Advantage
Global rates of terrorism have skyrocketed since 9/11, yet the aggregate increase tells us very little about the distribution of attacks across different regime types. Contrary to the traditional scholarly view and popular perceptions in the West, reasonably high-quality democracies enjoy a robust and growing "triple democracy advantage" in facing the scourge of post-9/11 terrorism. Not only are liberal democracies and polyarchies less prone to t…
Introduction: The Great Rule of Law Debate in the EU
Faced with what has been labeled ‘rule of law backsliding’ in some EU countries, EU institutions have sought to address the rise of ‘illiberal regimes’ via existing mechanisms as well as new instruments. This introductory contribution offers an overview of the problem and a brief summary of the papers to follow and which were first presented at a workshop co‐organized by the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law and Middlesex University London
Cracks in the Foundations: Understanding the Great Rule of Law Debate in the EU
The article offers a succinct conceptual and analytical framework for approaching the ‘great rule of law debate’ currently unfolding in the EU (European Union) and the contending positions of the various EU institutions embroiled in it. It addresses the challenge of conceptualization imbued in the notion of the rule of law, and critically examines the definition of the concept provided by the EC (European Commission). It then demonstrates that ov…
Comparative Assessment of Israel’s Foreign Policy Response to the ‘Arab Spring’
This article analyses Israel’s foreign policy response to the ‘Arab Spring’ in comparative perspective. Following the analytical framework shared by all contributions to this Special Issue, the article addresses four main dimensions in as many parts. Part I examines Israel’s initial reactions to the advent of the popular upheavals and regime changes in the Arab world in 2011–2014 and explores how those reactions have evolved over time. Part II id…
Israel and the Many Pathways of Diffusion
This article explores the degree, conditions, and pathways by which instances of institutional change in Israel can be traced back to the EU, either through direct influence mechanisms or indirectly, through emulation. It examines the processes and mechanisms by which EU diffusion into the Israeli domestic system might occur, and identifies the main factors that facilitate and hamper receptivity to EU influence. While there is little evidence tha…
Israel
Israel's civil litigation system, derived primarily from that of England and Wales, gradually evolved a series of American-influenced provisions into sector-specific Israeli law (from 1988 to 2005). The 2006 general Class Action Law introduced a comprehensive class action legal framework, containing detailed provisions on, inter alia, permissible causes of action, certification, representation, case management, settlements, funding, costs, and fe…
To Catch a Ballot Thief
Electoral Authoritarianism: The Dynamics of Unfree Competition. Edited by Andreas Schedler. Boulder: Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2006. 267 pp., $55.00 cloth (ISBN: 1-58826-415-2), $22.50 paper (ISBN: 1-58826-440-4). It was all so much simpler before the Portuguese Revolucao dos Cravos overthrew the longest standing dictatorship in southern Europe on April 25, 1974. In that year, barely three decades ago, the number of democracies on the planet stoo…
