الوفاق الهندي-الإسرائيلي
احتاجت كل من الهند وإسرائيل إلى أربعة عقود من الزمن كي تتمكنا من إقامة علاقات دبلوماسية كاملة، وتجارة ثنائية مزدهرة، وتعاون استراتيجي. ولم يأت التغيير في مواقف الهند حيال إسرائيل إلا مع نهاية الحرب الباردة وانطلاق عملية السلام في الشرق الأوسط عام 1991. كما كان للسياسات الداخلية الهندية دورها، فقد كان لهيمنة حزب الشعب الهندي \"بهاراتيا جاناتا\" على النظام السياسي الهندي دور في إزالة التردد الذي ساد المواقف المتخذة حيال إسرائيل. ومن وجهة نظر الدولتين فإن الخطر الذي يتوعدهما هو التيار الإسلامي الراديكالي القادم من الشرق الأوسط الكبير. وقد تعاونت الدولتان عسكرياً في مجالات مشتريات الأسلحة، والخطط المشتركة لإنتاج المعدات الحربية المتقدمة، والتعاون في مكافحة في مجال النشاطات الفضائية.
Book
The Arab Spring, Democracy and Security
This volume analyzes the political, economic and strategic dimensions of the recent upheavals in the Middle East known as the Arab Spring.
Mass demonstrations in many Arab states challenged the political status quo and the existing political and cultural system in the region. While it is too early to offer a definitive analysis of the impact of the widespread discontent in the Arab world, the trajectory of the events indicates regime change in several states, containment of political unrest in most states, increase in Islamic tendencies, centrifugal tendencies in a number of political units and deterioration of economic conditions.
This volume presents an initial assessment by a selected group of Israeli scholars of the implications of the Arab Spring. The chapters focus on important issues such as democratization, the role of economic factors in political change and explanations for variations in regime stability in the Middle East. Taking an international relations perspective, the book not only examines the evolving regional balance, but also explores the link between external and internal politics and the implications of terrorism for regional security. The chapters also address the implications of the Arab Spring for Israel and its chances of existing peacefully in the region.
This volume will be of much interest to students of Middle East politics, international security, foreign policy and international relations.

What after the Deal of the Century?
The mainstream in the Zionist movement has always favored the partition of the Land of Israel (Palestine). Finding a serious partner for partition has been the perennial problem. The Oslo Accords were interim agreements that were supposed to lead to a comprehensive agreement that would address the main issues in dispute. The inevitable conclusion is that the conflict is likely to continue, while the two-state paradigm is no longer viable. A search for a new paradigm is needed.

Democracies and Small Wars
By their nature, democracies clearly have greater constraints than autocratic regimes on their freedom of action as they have to meet constitutional, legal and moral criteria in their use of force. This collection analyses a number of case studies showing how democracies have won small wars.

What after counter-insurgency? Raiding in zones of turmoil
This article argues that the option of a military raid is becoming more relevant in the contemporary strategic environment. Two developments lead to this conclusion: the increase in the number of so-called failed states and subsequently ungoverned areas; and the western inadequate response in the attempts to create zones of stability with clear strategic addresses. The efforts for Statebuilding in Iraq and Afghanistan have failed, and the US and its allies have realized that foreign interventions, even after the commitment of much treasure and blood, are ineffective. This means that the West must adapt its strategic thinking to the new developments and devise ways to deal effectively with the situation. This article explores the concept of strategic raid and elaborates on its theoretical underpinnings. The raids discussed here are military operations conducted in order to weaken and/ or deter a non-state actor, at least temporarily. In the absence of diplomatic and economic leverage, the aim is limiting the actor's ability to harm others. The use of force is designed to degrade the military capabilities of the non-state adversary and to influence its resolve. Subsequently, it discusses a few historical examples of raiding strategy and then analyses two contemporary cases, Israel and the United States, in order to demonstrate the utility of raids today. Finally, the relevance of raiding strategy for other states in the contemporary strategic environment is discussed.

Regional security regimes : Israel and its neighbors
This book shows that as Israel is gradually being accepted by the Arab world, pure security considerations are becoming more important in the Arab-Israeli relationship, and security regimes between Israel and neighboring countries can foster moderation and cooperation. This volume of original articles explores political and military arrangements that could lead to a more peaceful relationship between Israel and its neighbors. It advocates the establishment of a security regime in the Arab-Israeli region that would foster moderation and cooperation and reduce the chances of interstate violence, and it investigates ways to bring about such a regime.
The authors demonstrate that various peacekeeping arrangements that have been somewhat successful during the Arab-Israeli conflict could provide bases on which to build effective security regimes. In addition, they address American and UN roles, arms control, the impact of water issues, and the effect of Arab culture. Contributors to the volume include Yaacov Bar-Siman-Tov, Gil Feiler, Adam Garfinkle, Aharon Klieman, Robert J. Lieber, Charles Lipson, Amikam Nachmani, Shmuel Sandler, and Gerald Steinberg.
