The Security Network and its Impact on Israeli Politics
The Security Network and its Impact on Israeli Politics Gabriel (Gabi) Sheffer (bio) The article deals with the informal Security Network, a continuing phenomenon that significantly influences Israeli politics and security especially after the 1967 War. There have been three basic approaches to the study of the relationships between civilian and military spheres, and they are closely connected to the international literature on the military and r…
Israel
Diaspora Lobbies and the US Government
As a nation of immigrants, the United States has long accepted that citizens who identify with an ancestral homeland may hold dual loyalties; yet Americans have at times regarded the persistence of foreign ties with suspicion, seeing them as a sign of potential disloyalty and a threat to national security. Diaspora Lobbies and the US Government brings together a group of distinguished scholars of international politics and international migration…

Israel's Security Networks
Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and particularly after the Israeli-Arab War of 1967, a highly informal but simultaneously potent security network has influenced Israel's domestic sphere. Composed of acting and former security personnel and their partners in the state's various civilian spheres, this security network has affected Israeli culture, politics, society, economy, public discourse and foreign relations. This book …
Quién le teme a las diásporas y por qué
Theoretical and analytical systematic and comprehensive consideration of diasporism and diasporas is relatively recent. The first systematic analyses appeared during the 1980s so there are still significant loopholes in their research and examination, as well as in the development of an overall outlook on diasporism and diasporas. As a result, there are also obstacles to a thorough understanding of the phenomenon. After reviewing the existing lit…
Militarism and Israeli Society
How Israel's security sector intertwines with civil society
Homeland and Diaspora
The main purpose of this article is to reassess the Israeli–Jewish Diaspora relations from the Israeli perspective and how these are conducted. From this point of view the article focuses on a number of issues, such as the Israeli public's attitudes toward the Diaspora; the current ideologies and agendas in this sphere; the formal positions of Israeli governments; and the debatable issues of interdependence and centrality of the two parts of the …
The Study of Civil-Military Relations in Israel
The aim of the article is threefold: first, to define and examine the major approaches to the study of the relationship between Israel's security sector and civilian realms (political, social, economic, and discursive), which we refer to as the traditional, and new critical approaches; second, to emphasize the theoretical and empirical gaps that exist in the scholarly treatment of the relationships between actors operating within both types of sp…
Israel's “Security Network” and Its Impact
This article discusses a critical factor that has influenced Israel's politics, society, economy, and public discourse since this state's establishment in 1948, and particularly after the 1967 war: a highly informal but at the same time very potent “Security Network.” This Network has been critically involved in the political, social, economic, and cultural spheres, and its impact is felt in major and lesser issues. It is made up of actors who ( …
Diaspora Politics
Transnationalism and Ethnonational Diasporism
This article argues that much recent scholarship devoted to the concept of transnationalism and to the category of transnational communities is misguided. Such scholarship neglects to acknowledge the distinctions between the transnational and the diasporic, in particular the qualities and features of certain ethno-diasporas that set them apart. The article argues that "scholars need on all occasions to acknowledge, first, the difficult work that …
Diasporas, Terrorism, and WMD
As part of their growing involvement in transstate and intrastate politics, in general, and in the inseparably connected spheres of cultural, economic, and social conflicts, in particular, ethnonational diasporas are deeply involved in trans-state conflicts, insurgencies, and terrorism. In fact, twenty-five ethnonational groups that are involved in conflict or rebellion in either their homelands or countries of residence and that, in addition to …
Is the Jewish Diaspora Unique? Reflections on the Diaspora's Current Situation
THE JEWISH DIASPORA, ISRAEL, AND consequently Israeli-Jewish Diaspora relations are all in the midst of ongoing intense transformations.1 These profound changes, however, are of a chaotic nature. They are caused by contradictory trends and features. There is no wonder that such changes confuse many gentiles, as well as many in the Jewish Diaspora (hereafter the Diaspora) and in Israel. The main purpose of the present essay, therefore, is to contr…
Diaspora Politics
This book is intended to fill in a gap in the study of modern ethno-national diasporas. Thus, against the background of current trends - globalization, democratization, the weakening of the nation-state and massive transstate migration, it examines the politics of historical, modern and incipient ethno-national diasporas. It argues that unlike the widely accepted view, ethno-national diasporism and diasporas do not constitute a recent phenomenon.…

Ethnic groups and distance shrinking communication technologies
Ethnic minorities and diasporas make extensive use of distance shrinking technologies. This article discusses the variety of uses of new media by ethnic groups, particularly in the political sphere; the resultant construction of virtual communities and virtual spaces by these groups; the functions of local and trans‐state ethnic networks; the contributions of these networks to intrastate and global civil society in a 'post‐national' era; and the …

Intentions and results of British policy in Palestine
There is hardly a question more laden with myths than the recent history of Palestine. This is true not only of the post-World War II era, but even more of the inter-war years. However, the opening to public perusal of the British government's records of the 1930's has enabled students to examine the facts and to attempt to expose certain false notions about British policy in Palestine. The creation of notions and myths is a simple matter; their …

Appeasement and the Problem of Palestine
Laymen, Zionist leaders, and both Jewish and gentile analysts have maintained that in the 1930S the British government's policies toward Palestine were strongly affected by Britain's general orientation toward appeasement. Both contemporaneously and ex post facto, critics have made three assumptions about these policies. First, the decision-making elite which launched Britain's policy of appeasement was also responsible for Middle Eastern policie…
