Abstract:
This article explores the background to normalization of Mauritanian-Israeli relations in depth and detail and demonstrates why the case of Mauritania was unique both for Mauritanians, who sought to replace their erstwhile French allies, as well as for the Israelis - who viewed it as one of the first and most important pillars of their Africa policy and who invested significantly throughout all sectors of the economy. Normalization of Mauritanian-Israeli relations initially began secretly during the regime of President Muʿāwiyah Aḥmad Ould al-Ṭāyaʿ and aside from the high-level political and diplomatic contacts, transpired in many different spheres from business, to medicine, to agriculture, telecommunications and lithium extraction and prospecting. The opening of respective embassies in both countries and high-profile visits brought about tensions in Mauritania among the general populace which was never comfortable with diplomatic or trade relations with Israel and which eventually factored in precipitating a coup. Mauritania eventually froze diplomatic relations and finally cut them off after Israeli aggression against Gaza during ‘Operation Cast Lead’ took public sentiment to the titration point. While Mauritania went on to develop relations with Iran, many of the commercial and industrial ties to Israeli corporations still persist if nothing more than for the reason that Israeli penetration of Mauritanian markets and various sectors was (and to a considerable degree still remains) significant. The future situation will likely be determined as a result of the dynamic and interplay of forces discussed in this paper.

HARPAZ, GUY. "The EU's New Approach To the Two-State Solution in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Paradigm Shift or PR Exercise?" Leiden Journal of International Law 30, no. 3 (April 17, 2017): 603–28. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0922156517000218.

Abstract:
AbstractThe EU's consistent policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been that Israel's presence in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip (prior to the 2005 disengagement) and the Golan Heights is subject to the laws of belligerent occupation, that any purported Israeli annexation is illegal and null and void, that Israel's settlements in the Territories are in breach of public international law and constitute a serious obstacle to peace, and that Israel and Palestine should settle their conflict on the basis of public international law and through the two-state solution. In recent years the EU attempted to concretize this policy through its trade and trade-related agreements with Israel, withholding the benefits of EU-Israeli co-operation from companies and research institutions based in the Territories or operating therein, as well as from products produced therein (the New Approach). Thus, from the EU perception, the New Approach towards the long-standing conflict and its reliance on international law may be seen as an instrument to reinforce internal and external legitimacy, buttress identity cohesiveness and as a manifestation of its more robust effectiveness. But this article seeks to conduct a more careful and balanced analysis of the New Approach and in doing so to reveal that the EU's (almost) exclusive focus on non-governmental entities, such as corporations situated in the Territories, and on Territories’ products, is misplaced in terms of public international law and effectiveness. The New Approach's deficiencies, in abstracto and in concreto, as evaluated in this article, are likely to prevent it from serving as a paradigm shift in EU-Israel relations.

Abstract:
The legal concept of ‘amicus curiae’ (friend of the court) was unknown in Israeli law until 1999 when, in the course of a well-known legal decision (the Kuzli case), the Israeli Supreme Court adopted this common law concept as part of Israeli law. Almost fifteen years have elapsed since the legal precedent set in Kuzli, during which time the criteria for participation as an amicus curiae have been established.The aim of this study was to empirically explore and analyse the ways in which the procedural institution of amicus curiae has been used and adopted under Israeli law, and the extent to which it has influenced judicial decisions. The study has used empirical methods, including the collection of quantitative data from computerised databases in Israel concerning cases in which an application to be recognised as an amicus curiae was made.The main findings indicate that, over the last decade, the number of applications for recognition as an amicus curiae has grown steadily. Most of these applications were made by non-governmental organisations in attempting to support private individuals engaged in legal proceedings against the state or for-profit corporations. The findings reveal that the courts have approved most of these applications.

Abstract:
This paper examines the emergence of business groups in Israel and South Korea. The paper questions how, in very different institutional contexts, similar economic organizations emerged. In contrast to the political, cultural and market perspectives, the comparative institutional analysis adopted in this research suggests that one factor alone could not explain the emergence of business groups. In Israel and South Korea, business groups emerged during the 1960s and 1970s, and there are common factors underlying their formation: state-society relations, the roles and beliefs of the elites, and the relative absence of multinational corporations in the economy. To a large extent, the chaebol are the result of an intended creation of the South Korean state, whereas the Israeli business groups are the outcome of state policies in the economic realm. In both countries, the state elite held a developmental ideology, did not rely on market forces for economic development, and had a desire for greater economic and military self-sufficiency. In addition, both states were recipients of large grants and loans from other countries, which made them less dependent on direct foreign investments. As a result, the emerging groups were protected from the intense competition of multinational corporations.

Abstract:
The article is about how pro-Israel and pro-China interest groups try to lobby on the ground of Capitol, White House and executive branch. The study of the lobbying results is based on «General theory of action» T. Parsons. It is concluded that for lobbying interests the main point will be the representation of the interests in the political and public spaces and the creating of advocacy and lobbying infrastructure. The ability of the Israeli lobby to achieve the goal can be explained, firstly, by political inclusion in the decision-making process, and, secondly, by almost axiomatic representation Israel interests through the national interests of the United States. The Israeli lobby can be considered as the religious lobby. It can use the possibilities of Jewish religious organizations in grass root action. Also this gives the opportunity to avoid the requirements of the LDA. From the point of view of the theory of Talcott Parsons, the success of the Israeli lobby is the cause of the action of a large number of actors that may form in large groups. Another advantage of the Israeli lobby is the ability of its members to get relevant information about the current situation in different spheres of political life in the U.S. The objective of the present study was to reveal the ways in which China lobby succeeds. The influence of China lobby on decision-making process in the United States can be explained through strong economic ties between American corporations and the Chinese market. When lobbying China uses numerous Chinese Diaspora in many States, as well as trying to interest of the former high-ranking American officials, granting them special privileges for doing business in China. In comparison to the Israeli lobby, the Chinese lobby has weaknesses. Chinese interest groups are not included in the political system of the USA and this is the disadvantage of the Chinese way of lobbying. Unlike Israel lobby Chinese one is external. The interests of the chinese pressure groups do not coincide with American national interests. Their actors are not rooted in the American political system.

Abstract:
Israel has recently undertaken a branding strategy that has created a problematic image of the country as an LGBTQ haven in a supposedly sexually retrograde Middle East. Interestingly, while there is a large body of critical scholarship investigating the workings of Israeli homonationalism outwards, as a form of soft diplomacy, wooing international constituencies, the question of how homonationalism is discursively produced and circulated inwards for Israeli audiences has remained relatively unexplored. In order to gain a glimpse of homonationalism within Israel, we analyze the documentary hamahapexa hagea (“which was broadcast in Hebrew by the Israeli public broadcasting corporation on May 2020. With the help of the notions of collective remembering, scale and affect, we demonstrate how the remembering of the Israeli LGBTQ movement and its affective loading, pride, is characterized by specific spatio-temporal discursive moves that position Israel as an exceptional context. On a national scale, Middle-Easternness is highlighted as a key feature of Israel’s exceptional character, enabling Israel to “come out” as simultaneously pro-gay and Mizrahi (lit. “Oriental”). On a global scale, the more traditional and Middle Eastern traits of Israel are downplayed, with a view to portraying Israel as a positive exception of LGBTQ progress compared to the West. Interestingly, the military is made to play a key role in the construction of Israeli exceptionalism with regard to LGBTQ rights, and grief and trauma for fallen soldiers is presented as the emotional litmus test for acceptance of non-normative sexualities in Israel.

Abstract:
PurposeThis paper explores different approaches to regulating corporate social responsibility (CSR) patterns of adopting codes of conduct, and discusses the approach that courts should embrace.Design/methodology/approachCase studies from various legal systems will be examined. The paper presents new typology relating to different patterns of the Corporate Social Performance (CSP) model, based on aspects of the CSR pyramid, namely, legislative CSR and ethical CSR. Legislative CSR includes adoption of thin codes which reflect compliance within current legal standards of the criminal code, while ethical CSR includes codes reflecting ethical norms and corporate social citizenship beyond mere compliance. The paper also includes the interplay of different patterns of CSR and three approaches to regulation regarding these patterns.FindingsBoth the Israeli negative CSR regulatory approach and the American legislative CSR regulatory approach present difficulties.Originality/valueThe paper introduces a theory for regulating CSR within criminal law, drawing on the pyramid of CSR. It presents an original discussion of distinct approaches to regulation of corporate liability, while further developing the institutional theory of CSR and the interplay of regulation and CSR. The paper suggests a novel solution regarding the regulation and acceptance of CSR: the granting of protection from criminal liability to corporations who adopt CSR.

Abstract:
This article traces the story of the importation of the American supermarket to Israel between the late 1950s to the late 1960s. The public debates over the adoption of this retail model went beyond economic and commercial aspects to include political, social, and class struggles among different groups in Israeli society, illustrative of their heterogeneous complexity at the time. The appearance of the supermarket in Israel was both symbolic and real. For many, it symbolized progress and modernization, values originating in ‘American Consumerism’ in the framework of the Cold War to demonstrate the advantages of the American way of life. The supermarket model was established through two main entities: initially by the foreign-owned private company Shufersal and through the Histadrut Corporation and its government-supported chain of food stores. The establishment of the supermarket marked a significant change in the Israeli retail food trade and consumption and management patterns. These included self-service, frozen food products, weekly specials, background music, consumer benefits, attractive packaging, advertising which offered a ‘shopping experience’ that was new to Israel at the time.

Abstract:
As Israel faces charges at the International Court of Justice in The Hague of breaching the 1948 Genocide Convention, for many people Western media institutions also stand in the dock. Critics have pointed to a media failure to effectively challenge a narrative that framed Israel’s actions in terms of an erroneous claim to Israeli ‘self-defence’, a de facto diplomatic cover for war crimes, ethnic cleansing and probable acts of genocide. In the Pacific, news leaders at Radio New Zealand (RNZ) and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), by alleged omission, story framing, inaccuracies, passive editorial stances, including a refusal to adjudicate contentious claims when the evidence was available, fall into the category. Such failures call into question claims of due impartiality, a fundamental tenet media outlets use to anchor their credibility as trusted sources of news. Failure to adequately create awareness of Israeli crimes also raises questions over whether state-funded public broadcasters are fulfilling the informational needs of democratic citizenship and serving the public interest, or whether they are serving the interests of a Western power elite.

Abstract:
This study applies econometric tools to examine the economies of scale of the water and sewage utilities corporation (utilities) in the urban sector in Israel, and to find whether reducing the number of utilities will maximize efficiency in the urban water sector. Using an econometric analysis of an elasticity Translog cost function, which allows the estimation of returns to scale, the authors examined the optimal size for water and sewage utilities in Israel, based on panel data of 51 utilities. According to the study's results, there is a distinct advantage of economies of scale in Israel's water utilities, and the current distribution of the urban water sector in Israel is characterized by inefficiency and high cost. The results indicate that reducing the number of utilities will achieve an increase in water quantities by utility, and the costs of water production will decline due to economies of scale.

AbstractBack in 2003, a few years before Hamas took over Gaza, I was working with the Rand Corporation that was doing a study of visioning the future of the Palestinian State. They hired a Los Angeles architect to look at Gaza and draw up a plan for liveable urban area with parks, a beachfront, a sea port, an airport and an industrial zone. We drove around with the municipal authorities and imagined what could be done with the political will and funding. If one thinks of Gaza as mostly urban space, one can imagine a beautiful liveable area with high-rises, parks and a beachfront on the Mediterranean Sea situated next to Egypt and Israel. Half of the population of Gaza is under the age of 18 and hoping for a better life.

This chapter discusses the role of corporations in human rights violations under Oslo. Oslo provided Israel with legal control over a majority of West Bank land and control over the passage of people and goods across borders, giving Israel greater freedom to build and expand the settlements in Area C, exploit its natural resources, and build the “separation wall” inside the West Bank. These activities have provided lucrative opportunities for corporate exploitation, and in most cases Israel could not conduct them without corporate assistance. The involvement of corporations in providing goods and services relating to Israel's occupation of the West Bank has been categorized by researchers into three areas: the settlement industry, exploitation of captive consumer and labor markets, and population control.

Abstract:
Israel’s insolvency law is trifurcated and is comprised of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, the Companies Ordinance, and the Companies Act. The first of these regulates insolvency proceedings pertaining to individuals, and the other two regulate proceedings pertaining to corporations. The Companies Ordinance deals with corporate liquidation and receivership, and the Companies Act handles corporate reorganization. While certain provisions appear in all three Acts, other provisions appear only in one or two of them. The subject of executory contracts is one of the main matters with respect to which the three Acts differ. The Bankruptcy Ordinance (Pkudat Pshitat Ha-Regel) and the Companies Ordinance (Pkudat Ha-Havarot) address the issue of executory contracts within the context of onerous property. As a result, this legislation covers only the ability of the trustee to release the estate from burdensome, unprofitable contracts.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the concept of scenario planning, which is used by states, large corporations, and local organizations to imagine and prepare for future uncertainties. Scenario technology typically works around the construct of risk and the related notion of risk management. The term uncertainty by design is an approach that accepts the open-endedness of the future while at the same time facilitating techniques to manage it that go beyond practices based on or involving the calculation of possibilities. The chapter notes the usage of scenario technology in analyzing scenario narratives and practices at the National Emergency Management Authority in Israel, the World Health Organization's Regional Office for Europe (WHO Europe), and the World Energy Council. It cites that the focus on uncertainty shifts the discussion on modernity and governance from the risk society approach to the idea of potentialities both in security and in profit.

Abstract:
In the thirty-five years between the 1917 AFL convention and the beginning of the Amun-Israeli Corporation’s housing construction in 1952, the American labor movement helped shape a foreign nation. Through the financial and political assets of its many organizations, it played a dual role, working within and beyond the framework of state power. American labor leaders supported with words and deeds the Jewish people’s desire to build a social-democratic society based on a strong labor movement. Their goals were both practical and ideological—to assist a fellow labor movement in Palestine, find a refuge for persecuted European Jews, and create an example for other Middle Eastern nations to follow. For all these reasons, the American labor movement utilized its resources in an unprecedented manner and succeeded in its ambitious endeavor. Through the initiative of Jewish labor leaders in the garment industry, the majority of the American labor movement rallied to this cause and acted as a seminal player in an international movement for a Jewish, national home in Palestine....

Full text
Abstract:
High-pressure water fogging is a relatively new technique for gas turbine inlet air cooling. Nevertheless, up to now, several hundreds of fogging systems have been installed around the world and this figure is rapidly growing. A large number of the fogging installations provided sufficient experience to establish a general approach to design, operation and maintenance of such systems. However, a fogging system could require some tuning to a specific gas turbine configuration and site conditions. Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) has implemented fourteen fogging systems on 120–150 MW gas turbines, and each system was tuned to provide higher effectiveness. Several systems were basically modified in order to reduce the risk of compressor blade erosion. Subsequent field tests had shown that the goals of the system modification and tuning were successfully achieved. This allowed extending operational hours of the fogging systems and provided noticeable fuel savings. Moreover, during the summer 2005 the fogging systems helped to achieve the all-time high peak of electricity demand. Extended use of the fogging systems features a prolonged operation at partial cooling capacity and at varying ambient temperature, pressure and humidity. This required a thorough evaluation of the fogging systems performance, in order to provide the systems settings that would allow the most effective operation with minimal risk of damage to gas turbine components, mainly the compressor blades. The paper describes an approach and results of the fogging system performance evaluation at the different operational conditions. The method allows for the rate of compressor airflow as a function of the injected water flow rate as well as of ambient pressure, temperature and humidity. Actual operational limitations are also considered. The results are illustrated with the examples that correspond to real fogging systems operating under Israeli weather conditions. The method is general and, therefore, is applicable to other weather conditions and for different fogging systems.

This paper presents the results of a project performed for the Israel Electric Corporation, Ltd. (IEC), with the objective of developing the most cost-effective and technically feasible 300-MW CAES-plant concept with underground storage in an aquiferous reservoir. Three conceptually different turbomachinery trains are analyzed, including one based on the use of state-of-the-art combustion turbine components with high firing temperatures. The results are reported for each turbomachinery train concept, optimized for the geological conditions of two alternative underground-storage sites. Along with other generic findings, the paper concludes with the selection of a turbomachinery train, its cycle parameters and configuration, and underground storage site to be used for further preliminary engineering and cost estimates. The results are generalized for use in future CAES projects.

Abstract:
Adapting a gas turbine to high-temperature solar receivers and solar tower technology constitutes real progress towards commercial solar power utilization with high efficiency combined cycle power system. Solar gas turbine systems can also be adapted to hybrid solar/fossil fuel operation, thanks to its high efficiency conversion, relatively small solar field, and quick response to load fluctuations, low CO2 emissions, easy start, and more effective equipment utilization. ORMAT initiated adaptation and modification of gas turbines for solar energy applications in the early 1990s in cooperation with the Weizmann Institute of Science and later with the Boeing Corporation, with the support of the United States Israel Science and Technology Foundation (USISTF). Ultimately, the concept reached its successful realization (2001–2004) in the solar tower Plataforma Solar de Almeria (Spain) which has three solar receivers and a receiving system designed and supplied by the German Aerospace Center DLR.

Abstract:
Inlet air cooling by water fogging became very popular in recent years, because it is relatively simple and inexpensive technique for gas turbine power augmentation. Large experience established general practices of design, operation and maintenance of the fog systems. Nevertheless, fog systems could require some tuning to a specific gas turbine configuration and site conditions. Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) has implemented eight fog systems on 120–150 MW gas turbines, and each system was initially tuned to provide higher effectiveness. During hot weather conditions, noticeable additional power was obtained, which was very helpful to meet peak electricity demand. Based on these positive results, an additional six fog systems were installed on Frame 9E gas turbines. Initial operation of new fog systems revealed some unexpected problems. IEC undertook a thorough study of the problems including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the inlet duct air flow. On the basis of the study results, significant modifications of the fog systems were carried out. Field tests of the modified systems showed that all goals of the modifications were successfully achieved.

Abstract:
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) models give good predictions of coal combustion in utility boilers if the coal combustion kinetic parameters are known. We developed a three-step methodology to provide reliable prediction of the behavior of a coal in a utility boiler: (1) Obtaining the combustion kinetic model parameters from a series of experiments in a test facility, CFD codes and optimization algorithm. (2) Validation of the combustion kinetic parameters by comparison of different experimental data with simulation results obtained by the set of combustion kinetic parameters. (3) The extracted kinetic parameters are then used for simulations of full-scale boilers using the same CFD code. Three to four bituminous and sub-bituminous coals with known behavior in Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) 550MW opposite-wall (3 coals) and 575MW tangential-fired (4 coals) boilers were used to show the capability of the method. An unfamiliar bituminous coal was then examined prior of its firing in the utility boilers and prediction of its combustion behavior in the two boilers was carried out. This methodology was used to examine a Venezuelan coal that was found to yield high LOI.

Abstract:
In this paper, a turbine on-line performance calculation system is presented. The system was implemented on a 575 MW unit of the Israel Electric Corporation and has been in operation for one year. The system was developed jointly by IEC and Berman Engineering Ltd. The main feature of the described system is the precision of the turbine heat rate calculation. This increased precision of the turbine heat rate calculation was accomplished by utilizing sophisticated statistical techniques, such as parametric and nonparametric regression, robust estimation, special filtration methods, autocorrelation methods, and uncertainty estimation methods. This high precision allows using the calculated heat rate as the main input to the turbine diagnostic system. The selection of turbine heat rate as the main diagnostic input is due to its high sensitivity to efficiency deviations of each turbine subsystem (turbine internal efficiency, condenser cleanliness, regenerative heaters’ cleanliness, etc.). However, despite this high sensitivity, the turbine heat rate cannot be used directly without implementing the sophisticated statistical techniques mentioned above because: • relatively small variation of the calculated heat rate over the entire turbine load range (only about 3%); • the presence of systematic and random measurement errors; • low signal/noise ratio as a result of the above items. In order to develop the techniques mentioned above, a detailed study of the error characteristics and error propagation was carried out. This study defined the problems which had to be solved in order to achieve an acceptably high precision of the calculation results. The current results allow using turbine heat rate as a tool for the following purposes: • turbine cycle efficiency estimation for all modes of operation and for turbine cycle scheme variations; • turbine internal condition estimation; • reliability control of measuring instrumentation which is used for turbine heat rate calculations; • determination of heat rate deviation which is above a preset acceptable value (heat rate “out of range”). The structure of the developed system is presented as well as examples of results which show the calculation precision. Also, examples are presented to illustrate how the heat rate can be using for identification of various abnormal situations which may impact the turbine cycle efficiency.

Abstract:
The objective of the present work was to develop an optimization method for the prediction of the behavior of coals or coal blends in utility boilers, in order to specify the performance and pollutant emissions during the firing. Two methods have been used to study the performance of single coals or coal blends in power station boilers (1) experimental tests, where the coal/blend was fired in either a power station or in a test rig, and (2) use of coal combustion computational fluid dynamic (CFD). Here we will discuss both methods. We present experimental results, for 575 MWe tangentially-fired Combustion Engineering boilers of Israel Electric Corporation and 50 kWth test rig of Ben-Gurion University, that show the control of NOx and carbon content in fly ash (LOI). In addition to the experimental measurements we also established a large data base using a CFD code for a large spectrum of operational conditions. Validation of CFD results was made by comparison with both test rig and full-scale boilers measurements. Only after ensuring that good fit was obtained between experimental measurements and CFD results, was CFD used to establish the data base for coals/blends at a large spectrum of operational conditions. In some cases CFD was run for coals/blends never burned in the boiler, but burned in the test rig. The data obtained, experimental, showed that with tuning and modified nozzles NOx was considerably reduced: from 1200 to 570 mg/dNm3 @ 6% O2 for South African coal at full load. At partial loads NOx emission dropped from 1400 to about 800 mg/dNm3 @ 6% O2. High volatile coals, such as Colombian and Indonesian, firing led to additional NOx reduction to around 400 mg/dNm3 @ 6% O2 at full load. A very large data base was obtained in this effort and brought us to the idea of extending it by using a neural network algorithm [1]. We used these data as a base for the development of a code based on neural network and a mathematical optimization algorithm. The code was primarily intended for use by the plant personnel for better tuning coal-fired boilers to reduce NOx and minimize heat rate. The neural network develops non-linear mapping functions between the outputs of NOx, heat rate, LOI, etc. and the controllable boiler input parameters. The mapping functions are then analyzed by the mathematical optimization algorithm and optimal boiler operating condition are identified. Further, based on networks and a mathematical optimization algorithm we found a proper Adaro and KPC (Indonesian coals) blend and operation condition that led to NOx emission reduction less than 400 mg/dnm3 in a 575 MWe tangentially firing unit with a conventional firing system. This result was verified in experimentally in the boiler. The results presented in this work clearly show that the developed method for reduction emission and performance optimization is available and capable to achieve operational or environmental goals.
