Book excerpt: Cette thèse est divisée en deux parties : la première porte sur les perceptions israéliennes et arabes de la sécurité au Proche-Orient avant les négociations de paix de Madrid. La seconde, sur les conceptions israéliennes et arabes de la paix dans le processus de Madrid. Le travail commence par une réflexion sur la perspective du règlement du conflit israélo-arabe après la fin de la guerre froide. Les adversaires décident, après la guerre du Golfe, de mettre fin à leur conflit, sous l'égide des Etats-Unis. La négociation s'engage donc réellement en 1991 à Madrid puis a Washington dans le but final commun d'établir la paix en échange des territoires occupés par Israël, lors de la guerre de 1967. C'est une innovation profonde, par rapport à la période de la guerre froide ou toutes les études de relations internationales étaient centrées sur la question des conflits et des guerres. Le choix israélien de la voie du "marchandage coercitif" plutôt que la voie "juridique et normative" est accepté par les parties arabes (Syrie, Liban, Jordanie, et les Palestiniens). Le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est donc que la volonté des deux parties n'est pas réellement une volonté guidée par une image commune de paix. En effet, chaque partie a une perception différente de l'autre. La représentation de l'ennemi conditionne les décideurs dans leur choix : conflit ou paix, le règlement du conflit nécessitant la transformation de l'image que se font les acteurs, de leurs intérêts. De ce fait, seule une analyse concise des perceptions mutuelles permet de rapprocher les points de vue divergents. La thèse présente aussi un dossier sur les différentes étapes du processus de négociations entre Israël et chacune des parties arabes à Washington. Il s'ensuit une analyse des accords signés par l'Etat juif avec l'OLP et la Jordanie. Elle se termine par une description très détaillée de l'impasse des négociations sur le statut définitif des Territoires palestiniens occupés. Les marchandages coercitifs ont en effet mis à mal l'architecture des résolutions de l'ONU sur le Conflit israélo-arabe. Cela peut nous inciter à conclure que la paix n'est pas encore une réalité. Israël ne fera pas de concessions en ce qui concerne Jerusalem et les colonies juives. Or, on ne pourra parler de paix si Israël occupe toujours 80% du territoire palestinien de Cisjordanie et de Gaza, le Golan syrien et le sud.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'arrivée au pouvoir du Hamas en Palestine et la victoire de Kadima en Israël ont considérablement modifié la donne politique au Proche-Orient. Dans ce nouveau contexte et face aux échecs répétés du processus de paix, l'instauration de la paix est-elle toujours possible ? La suspension des aides financières européennes et américaines déstabilise l'Autorité palestinienne et accentue la crise économique. Et pourtant, l'amélioration de la situation économique dans les Territoires palestiniens est essentielle pour que naisse un Etat palestinien politiquement viable et qu'un règlement durable du conflit soit trouvé. Si on ne fera pas plier les Palestiniens " en les affamant ", les attentats terroristes ne réussiront pas non plus à faire plier les israéliens. La seule issue possible est une paix négociée, juste et globale, qui ne devra exprimer la défaite ni de l'un ni de l'autre. Le conflit israélo-palestinien, qui suscite de vifs débats au sein de la société française, est devenu d'une importance géostratégique majeure pour le monde. La communauté internationale dans son ensemble est concernée, et elle doit montrer une réelle volonté politique de favoriser le dialogue. Le projet de paix ne pourra s'établir qu'avec l'intervention active de l'Europe et de la France, qui doivent tenter de relancer le processus de paix par la détermination de leur action et de leur mobilisation. Des universitaires et des parlementaires français, mais aussi des représentants israéliens et palestiniens apportent ici un éclairage sur les perspectives de paix pour la région.

Book excerpt: "Your Mindful Compass" takes us behind the emotional curtain to see the mechanisms regulating individuals in social systems. There is great comfort and wisdom in knowing we can increase our awareness to manage the swift and ancient mechanisms of social control. We can gain greater flexibility by seeing how social controls work in systems from ants to humans. To be less controlled by others, we learn how emotional systems influence our relationship-oriented brain. People want to know what goes on in families that give rise to amazing leaders and/or terrorists. For the first time in history we can understand the systems in which we live. The social sciences have been accumulating knowledge since the early fifties as to how we are regulated by others. S. Milgram, S. Ashe, P. Zimbardo and J. Calhoun, detail the vulnerability to being duped and deceived and the difficulty of cooperating when values differ. Murray Bowen, M.D., the first researcher to observe several live-in families, for up to three years, at the National Institute of Mental Health. Describing how family members overly influence one another and distribute stress unevenly, Bowen described both how symptoms and family leaders emerge in highly stressed families. Our brain is not organized to automatically perceive that each family has an emotional system, fine-tuned by evolution and "valuing" its survival as a whole, as much as the survival of any individual. It is easier to see this emotional system function in ants or mice but not in humans. The emotional system is organized to snooker us humans: encouraging us to take sides, run away from others, to pressure others, to get sick, to blame others, and to have great difficulty in seeing our part in problems. It is hard to see that we become anxious, stressed out and even that we are difficult to deal with. But "thinking systems" can open the doors of perception, allowing us to experience the world in a different way. This book offers both coaching ideas and stories from leaders as to strategies to break out from social control by de-triangling, using paradoxes, reversals and other types of interruptions of highly linked emotional processes. Time is needed to think clearly about the automatic nature of the two against one triangle. Time and experience is required as we learn strategies to put two people together and get self outside the control of the system. In addition, it takes time to clarify and define one's principles, to know what "I" will or will not do and to be able to take a stand with others with whom we are very involved. The good news is that systems' thinking is possible for anyone. It is always possible for an individual to understand feelings and to integrate them with their more rational brains. In so doing, an individual increases his or her ability to communicate despite misunderstandings or even rejection from important others. The effort involved in creating your Mindful Compass enables us to perceive the relationship system without experiencing it's threats. The four points on the Mindful Compass are: 1) Action for Self, 2) Resistance to Forward Progress, 3) Knowledge of Social Systems and the 4) The Ability to Stand Alone. Each gives us a view of the process one enters when making an effort to define a self and build an emotional backbone. It is not easy to find our way through the social jungle. The ability to know emotional systems well enough to take a position for self and to become more differentiated is part of the natural way humans cope with pressure. Now people can use available knowledge to build an emotional backbone, by thoughtfully altering their part in the relationship system. No one knows how far one can go by making an effort to be more of a self-defined individual in relationships to others. Through increasing emotional maturity, we can find greater individual freedom at the same time that we increase our ability to cooperate and to be close to others.
Download or read book The Protestant Establishment written by Edward Digby Baltzell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic account of the traditional upper class in America traces its origins, lifestyles, and political and social attitudes from the time of Theodore Roosevelt to that of John F. Kennedy. Sociologist E. Digby Baltzell describes the problems of exclusion and prejudice within the community of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (or WASPs, an acronym he coined) and predicts with amazing accuracy what will happen when this inbred group is forced to share privilege and power with talented members of minority groups. "The book may actually hold more interest today than when it was first published. New generations of readers can resonate all the more to this masterly and beautifully written work that provides sociological understanding of its engrossing subject."--Robert K. Merton, Columbia University "The documentation and illustration in the book make it valuable as social history, quite apart from any theoretical hypothesis. As such, it sketches the rise of the WASP penchant for country clubs, patriotic societies and genealogy. It traces the history of anti-Semitism in America. It describes the intellectual conflict between Social Darwinism and the environmental social science founded half a century ago by men like John Dewey, Charles A. Beard, Thorstein Veblen, Franz Boas and Frederick Jackson Turner. In short, The Protestant Establishment is a wide-ranging, intelligent and provocative book."--Alvin Toffler, New York Times Book Review "The Protestant Establishment has many virtues that lift it above the level we have come to expect in works of contemporary social and cultural analysis. It is clearly and convincingly written."--H. Stuart Hughes, New York Review of Books "What makes Baltzell's analysis of the evolution of the American elite superior to the accounts of earlier writers . . . is that he exposes the connections between high social status and political and economic power."--Dennis H. Wrong, Commentary

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book attempts a general history of the anti-foreign spirit that I have defined as nativism. It tries to show how American nativism evolved its own distinctive patterns, how it has ebbed and flowed under the pressure of successive impulses in American history, how it has fared at every social level and in every section where it left a mark, and how it has passed into action. Fundamentally, this remains a study of public opinion, but I have sought to follow the movement of opinion wherever it led, relating it to political pressures, social organization, economic changes, and intellectual interests."--from the Preface, taken from back cover.
Download or read book Post Conflict Peacebuilding written by Vincent Chetail and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-Conflict Peacebuilding comes at a critical time for post-conflict peacebuilding. Its rapid move towards the top of the international political agenda has been accompanied by added scrutiny, as the international community seeks to meet the multi-dimensional challenges of building a just and sustainable peace in societies ravaged by war. Beyond the strictly operational dimension, there is considerable ambiguity in the concepts and terminology used to discuss post-conflict peacebuilding. This ambiguity undermines efforts to agree on common understandings of how peace can be most effectively 'built', thereby impeding swift, coherent action. Accordingly, this lexicon aims to clarify and illuminate the multiple facets of post-conflict peacebuilding, by presenting its major themes and trends from an analytical perspective. To this end, the book opens with a general introduction on the concept of post-conflict peacebuilding, followed by twenty-six essays on its key elements (including capacity-building, conflict transformation, reconciliation, recovery, rule of law, security sector reform, and transitional justice). Written by international experts from a range of disciplines, including political science and international relations, international law, economics, and sociology, these essays cover the whole spectrum of post-conflict peacebuilding. In reflecting a diversity of perspectives the lexicon sheds light on many different challenges associated with post-conflict peacebuilding. For each key concept a generic definition is proposed, which is then expanded through discussion of three main areas: the meaning and origin of the concept; its content and essential components; and its means of implementation, including lessons learned from past practice.
Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Download or read book Palestinian Refugees in International Law written by Francesca P. Albanese and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palestinian refugee question, resulting from the events surrounding the birth of the state of Israel seventy years ago, remains one of the largest and most protracted refugee crises of the post-WWII era. Numbering over six million in the Middle East alone, Palestinian refugees' status varies considerably according to the state or territory 'hosting' them, the UN agency assisting them and political circumstances surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict these refugees are naturally associated with. Despite being foundational to both the experience of the Palestinian refugees and the resolution of their plight, international law is often side-lined in political discussions concerning their fate. This compelling new book, building on the seminal contribution of the first edition (1998), offers a clear and comprehensive analysis of various areas of international law (including refugee law, human rights law, humanitarian law, the law relating to stateless persons, principles related to internally displaced persons, as well as notions of international criminal law), and probes their relevance to the provision of international protection for Palestinian refugees and their quest for durable solutions.
Download or read book Gender and Far Right Politics in Europe written by Michaela Köttig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a systematic consideration of the link between the extreme right and the discourse about developments in regard to gender issues within different national states. The contributors analyze right-wing extremist tendencies in Europe under the specific perspective on gender. The volume brings together the few existing findings concerning the quantitative dimension of activities carried out by men and women in different countries, and illuminates and juxtaposes gender ratios along with the role of women in right-wing extremism. Along with the gender-specific access to right-wing groups, the chapters look at networks, organizational forms, specific strategies of female right-wing extremists, their ideologies (especially regarding femininity and masculinity), hetero normativity, discourses on sexuality, and preventive and counter-strategies. The book will be of use to students and scholars interested in gender and politics, European politics, and political extremism.
