  1. Les étudiants de France et la guerre d'Algérie : identité et expression collective de l'UNEF, 1954-1962

    Orkibi, Eithan
    Paris : Syllepse, c2012.

    "Dès 1956 l'union nationale des étudiants de France (UNEF) bascule dans l'opposition à la politique gouvernementale en Afrique du Nord et dans la lutte contre la guerre coloniale. L'équipe dirigeante du syndicat entend renouer avec l'esprit et la lettre de la "charte de Grenoble" qui avait refonde le syndicalisme étudiant à la Libération. Voulant se porter à "l'avant-garde de la jeunesse française", soucieuse de maintenir les relations entré étudiants des deux côtés de la Méditerranée et de "défendre la liberté contre toute oppression", l'organisation étudiante va s'engager de plus en plus sur ce terrain et gagner, voire entraîner, une grande partie du mouvement syndical dans ce sens. Comment cette évolution d'une action strictement corporative vers une implication concrète dans la vie de là cité se manifeste-t-el e dans la presse, les résolutions, .e vocabulaire de l'organisation étudiante? Quelles valeurs et quelles visions de a société et du mouvement étudiant se donnent à voir dans cette production textuelle? Fondé sur l'analyse des archives et notamment de la presse de l'UNEF et de ses associations générales, ce livre s'approche au plus près de la réalité d'un mouvement étudiant qui dynamise l'opposition à a guerre coloniale, coordonne faction collective et qui devient une force à part entière du mouvement social."--P.

  2. Israel at the polls 2013 : continuity and change in Israeli political culture

    Abingdon, Oxon, UK ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2016.

    The 2013 elections took place less than two years after the overwhelming wave of social protests of summer 2011. At first, the election campaign did not raise much public interest, but the emergence of new players and young political forces energized the political race. Polls conducted throughout the campaign greatly deviated from the final results, which eventually enabled Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to form a cabinet again, despite a loss of 11 seats for his list. This book describes and analyses a variety of political and sociological developments in Israel both before and after the elections. These include the nature of the campaign, the developments in the National Camp, among religious Zionists, the ultra-Orthodox parties, and the Russian vote. Furthermore, it assesses the impact of media, including new media. The variety of subjects makes the book suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in Middle-Eastern, Israeli, and Jewish studies, as well as political science and liberal arts in general. Israel at the Polls has been updated and published regularly for thirty-five years, providing readers with up-to-date analysis and continuity of scholarship. This book offers a long-term assessment of Israeli politics. This book was published as a special issue of Israel Affairs.

  3. Israel at the polls 2015 : a moment of transformative stability

    Abingdon, Oxon, UK ; New York, NY : Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group, 2017.

    Less than two years after winning the 2013 elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to dissolve his government, paving the way for general elections. While the initial impression was that the upcoming elections were "pointless" and "unnecessary", the campaign gradually turned into a passionate and dramatic political competition, which reflected - and reenergized - the ideological, social, ethnic and cultural divides of Israeli society. This book describes and analyses a great variety of political, sociological and cultural dimensions of the 2015 elections for the 20th Knesset. Covering issues such as voters' behaviour, coalition formation, figures of leadership, political identities, political communication and persuasion, this rich collection of essays offers a unique and comprehensive perspective on Israeli political culture in general, and on the Israeli society in the midst of the 2015 elections in particular. It also offers theoretical insight to anyone interested in parliamentary politics and party systems in general. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Israel Affairs.
