Strategies of Class Formation: The Case of the Labor Movement in the Jewish Community of Palestine, 1918–1948
The building of a Jewish national home in Palestine was accompanied by intellectual, cultural, and political efforts to create a system of social stratification different from those that characterized Jewish communities in their lands of origin, especially in Eastern Europe. The labor movement and its constituent political parties took the leading role in this process. The labor movement&s;s strategy of class building was based on several fundame…

Scientific strategists in the period of mamlakhtiyut: Interaction between the academic community and political power centers
In the first decades of the State of Israel an elitist group of scientists and scholars from academic institutions organized itself into a powerful status group. Its members participated in the establishment and development of programs and processes that had a significant impact on Israeli society. The power of this group (which we term “scientific strategists”) derived from personal and institutional cooperation between its members and leading p…

Critical? Sociology and ?Establishment? Sociology in the Israeli Academic Community: Ideological Struggles or Academic Discourse
IN RECENT YEARS A SEVERE polemic has been raging within the Israeli academic community, echoes of which may also be heard among students of Israeli society abroad, between those who call themselves "critical sociologists" and those they refer to as "establishment sociologists." A similar debate is also taking place among the historians, but here the distinction between "new" historians and "old" historians is more accepted. In its early stages, i…

The Comparative Analysis of Military Regimes: Formations, Aspirations, and Achievements
Recent literature demonstrates that modern military regimes are actually military-civilian coalitions. The old dichotomy of civil/military is no longer a useful explanation for the politics and the dynamics of military regimes. Role expansion, new professionalism, and mission orientation have changed military missions, doctrines, and self-perception. The author proposes and develops a comparative analysis and a typology of contemporary military r…

Authority without Sovereignty: The Case of the National Centre of the Jewish Community in Palestine
THE PROCESS WHICH CHARACTERIZED THE POLITICAL SYSTEM OF THE Jewish community in Palestine was a process of the formation of a non-sovereign political centre which progressively increased its authority through the exercise of control over the mobilization and distribution of resources. The bearer of this process was a power conscious elite – oriented on the formation of an institutionalized national centre. The mobilization of resources outside of…
Some Theoretical Implications* of the Multidimensional Concept of Modernization
In this paper we have tried to deal with modernization as a multidimensional issue, and examine the compatibility and harmony of its different facets. Uneven development was regarded as one of the most crucial problems of developing countries, mainly because of its impact on the fluidity of the defreezing and refreezing of resources. Some illustrations were presented of discrepancies in the rate of development in the intra-and interinstitutional …

The Class Structure of Burma: Continuity and Change
The facts and evaluations presented here were designed to outline some of the characteristics of the Burmese class-structure. Of particular relevance seems to be the occupational structure and its modification during the last three or four decades. The income distribution among various occupational groups also helped in this characterization. The differentiation and cooperation between the different elites was described, together with the setting…

Modernization and Role-Expansion of the Military in Developing Countries: A Comparative Analysis
Officers in active military service engaged in administrative tasks in the civil service, in the management of economic enterprises, in farming estates, teaching, bank management and other 'civilian' tasks are not an unusual phenomenon in countries where the military is the exclusive ruler, or a direct and active partner in the government. The number of officers in this category is increasing also in those countries where the military is only a l…
