Political Economy of an Ethnic Democracy: The Case of Israels Policy Toward Its Arab Minority
This article analyzes the political–economic policy of Israel, as an ethnic democracy, toward its Arab minority. Ethnic inequality between Arabs and Jews may be analyzed in three categories of rights: political rights, civil rights, and rights to public goods. The article examines whether Israel’s policy of privileging Jews over Arabs in these three rights created an ethnic hierarchy and inequality at the individual and collective levels. At the …
Tiny religious minorities and minority group rights: The case of the Druze community
This article deals with tiny religious minorities and examines the Druze religious minority in Israel, Lebanon, and Syria as its case study. The main argument is that minorities, despite keeping a low profile in international and national affairs, have usually been subject to major atrocities, forced conversion and ethnic cleansing in civil wars; minorities feel the brunt of discrimination by their own (including democratic) states and societies,…
Minority politics and the social construction of hierarchy: The case of the Druze community
This article examines the behaviour of a minority as a political unit and its endeavours to construct an informal state‐like hierarchy. The article examines the history of the Druze minority during the major crises of 1830s and 1860 Lebanon, 1925 Syrian Great Uprising, 1936–1939 Palestinian Great Revolt and the 1948 Zionist–Arab War. The article explores how inter‐subjectivity among Druze individuals around principles such as ‘preserving of broth…
Is the Israeli Democracy a Hindrance to Peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority
Scholars of Israeli politics have overestimated the role of the Israeli military generals in shaping Israel’s security policy and the peace process with the Palestinian Authority (PA). They also underestimated the role of the Knesset in the process. This article claims that not only the Knesset has a final say in ratifying any peace agreement with the PA but the Knesset has become a hindrance to peace. The structure of Israeli democratic system, …
Anti-Semitism, Unhappy Consciousness and the Social Construction of the Palestinian Nakba
The history of Zionism is composed of two narratives: One is the history of anti-Semitism that begot Zionism, and the other is the history of the Zionist–Palestinian conflict that begot the Palestinian refugee problem (the Nakba). So far, these two narratives have been investigated in parallel and, thus, they were kept artificially disconnected from each other. The history of the Palestinian catastrophe has been examined mainly in the light of th…
Protracted Conflict, Existential Threat and Economic Development
This article argues that a protracted conflict, in general, has strengthened the state vis-à-vis the society in Egypt, Israel, South Korea, Syria and Taiwan. Yet, the existentially threatened states, namely, Israel, South Korea and Taiwan, have pursued economic development and industrialization as a strategic objective. While all three states have been strategically important for the hegemon, the United States, the latter has encouraged them to a…
Monetary Power and Monetary Statecraft
International Monetary Power, edited by David Andrews, uses a state-centric approach to explore issues surrounding “international monetary power,” on the one hand, and “monetary statecraft,” on the other. International monetary power can best be understood as a relational property, in which the behavior of one state changes because of its monetary relations with another state. By contrast, international statecraft exists when one state consciousl…
US foreign policy in the Middle East: From Crises to Change
"US foreign policy in the Middle East has for the most part been shaped by the eruption of major crises that have revealed the deficiency in and bankruptcy of existing consensus and conceptions. Crises generate a new set of ideas to address the roots of the crisis and construct a new reality that would best serve US interests. Further, crises stimulate new ideological and ideational debates that de-legitimate existing practices and prevailing ide…
US Responses to Major Developments in the Arab-Islamic World: Evaluation of Role of Ideas
The US policy towards the Islamic world since the beginning of the 1970s has experienced the challenge of responding to three major crises in the region: the Arab oil embargo of 1973 and the consequent accumulation of petrodollars in the hands of a few traditional, Arab monarchies; the Islamic Revolution of 1979 in Iran, coupled with the debt crisis of the 1980s; and the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. Each one of these crises generated a…
Constructing Democratic Global Institutions
A Possible World, by Heikki Patomaeki and Teivo Teivainen, is a very ambitious attempt to envision a democratic system of global governance. As a start, the two authors seek to transform the world's major international institutions by making them more democratic. These institutions include the United Nations (UN), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the international courts. In addition, …
The Expansion of Global Governance into the Third World: Altruism, Realism, or Constructivism
This essay examines the expansion of global governance into developing countries. Its central thesis is that in the present era of globalization, competitiveness has become a major concern for developed countries, in particular, those facing tough competition from the developing states that have improved their terms of trade through state-led development strategies and have become major exporters of manufactured products. Developed countries seek…
