Leading American and Israeli social scientists discuss the precedent-setting events of Israel’s 1996 elections.Leading social scientists from Israeli and American universities, using different methods and representing diverse intellectual traditions, address the precedent-setting events of Israel’s 1996 elections. The contributors discuss the meaning of collective identity, the role of religion and nationalism in modern Israel, the political behavior of Israeli Arabs, the secrets of success of the immigrant party. Also discussed are issues such as the impact of the direct election law on party organization, primaries and coalition-formation calculations, the repeated electoral failure of Shimon Peres, and the role of the media in the election campaign.The 1996 elections in Israel represented a “first” in Israeli politics in many ways. For the first time Israelis directly elected their prime minister and, in simultaneous but separate elections, they elected their 120-member Knesset (parliament). Also, it was the first time that elections were held after the mutual recognition of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization following the Oslo accords and it was the first election held after the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rubin.The political parties made widespread use of primaries in 1996, and hundreds of thousands of new immigrants from the former Soviet Union cast their first ballots. The large support for a party supported by former-Soviet immigrants highlighted the emergence of sectarian interests. This was also expressed in the surge for the two Arab parties from five seats in 1992 to nine seats in 1996, and for the three Jewish religious parties whose combined representation grew from 16 to 23 seats.

This Baekke bracelet is made from brass with nine beads in Dark cobalt blue (5) and Dark red (4). The design features interchangeable beads so you just need one bracelet to create as many looks as you want. Change your colour to fit your moods and plans, or even use them to tell your own story. You do you - that's what Baekke is all about. A Danish brand with a female founder, Baekke has a cradle-to-cradle approach, so you can feel good about your jewellery, knowing that it can be easily recycled or reused when its life is over. BRASS Cleaning The brass jewellery can of course be polished, e. g. with liquid brass polish, a “dry” jewellery polishing cloth or as a quick fix; with lemon juice. Remember to rinse the jewellery well afterwards. Brass oxidises in time (becomes brownish and maybe matte), so it needs to be polished. It contains copper, which may cause a dark shadow on the skin – this is not dangerous and can be washed off. Acid, sweat and salt enhances this process. Brass can get scratched at exposed areas, e. g. by contact with other jewellery. We recommend you to take off your jewellery while sleeping, exercising or engaging in other activity that can scratch it. Our jewellery are made of reusable high polished brass of the best quality. PLASTIC Cleaning The plastic pearls can be placed in lukewarm water with a little dish washing liquid and wash gently with a soft brush or sponge. The beads are made of recyclable plastic (polyethylene/PE). So while our jewellery is not made from recycled plastic, our innovative design allows beads to be clicked on and off easily, promoting longer term use rather than single-use. We recommend that you take the beads off the jewellery, if you do not use them for periods of time, to prevent the plastics from ”tiring”.

Elections occupied an important place in the French Revolution, yet, until recently, they have received little attention. This book, the first on the subject in English, explores all types of elections from 1789 to 1799 and is based on extensive research in the different regions of France. It is primarily concerned with electoral behavior, an aspect of modern citizenship of great interest to historians and political scientists, the main audience for this pioneering study of Europe's first apprenticeship in democracy.

In the 1960s and 70s, political consultant Joe Napolitan worked for famous leaders including John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, Milton Shapp, and Mike Gravel. In this fascinating memoir, Napolitan takes a look how political candidates win. He highlights the use of mass media, foreseeing the power of television in successful political campaigns. "The issues don't mean a hell of a lot," he observes. Napolitan makes clear that the idea of "selling" candidates is a misnomer. Instead, he says those who win elections have personalities that make for "instant involvement" with viewers and listeners. Though it's not a handbook, Napolitan has said that The Election Game and How to Win It will be used as such by candidates, managers and pollsters, as well as political historians. Drawing on his personal experience, Napolitan provides an insightful and engaging look into successful campaigns. Joseph Napolitan worked as a general consultant on over 100 political campaigns in the United States, and many others throughout the world. It was he who coined the term "political consultant" to describe political professionals who are hired out to provide advice to different political campaigns, often at the same time. Napolitan served on the 1960 "Kennedy for President" campaign, was Director of Media for the 1968 Hubert Humphrey campaign and received the French Legion of Honour in 2005. He died in December, 2013, at the age of 84.
