Sadat's Negotiations with the United States and Israel

A bstract The outcome of the negotiations between the Egyptians and the Americans and the Israelis reflected the balance of power between the negotiators in the period 1974-1979 But a realistic assessment of the forces at play at the beginning of negotiations in 1973 could have facilitated a fir more effective utilization of the Arab coalition power that was successfully marshalled for the 1973 military operation and for the brief political battle which ensued Anwar Sadat based his strategies on a highly personalistic assessment of the relevant policies of Israel and the United States, and of their respective relative power Sadat's decision-making and his ability to make concessions was facilitated by the authoritarian character of his rule The documentary record suggests that Egyptian decisions and negotiating strategies from Sinai to Camp David fundamentally reflected President Sadat's psycho-political perceptions and his highly personalized approach to diplomacy     

Roads to work: school-to-work transition patterns in Germany and the United States

Most industrialised countries in conditions of intensive, global economic competition recognise the central importance of workforces with adequate levels of education and skills. This article compares the educational and training outcomes during the critical school-to-work transition period in two countries with very different institutional arrangements–the USA and Germany.     

From consensus to fragmentation: The dynamics of paradigm change in Israel

This paper reports on the evolution of spatial planning approaches in Israel with emphasis on the relationship between planning and ideology. The major characteristics of planning studied are: (1) the role of planning; (2) the planning process and methodology; (3) the problems and goals of planning; (4) planning concepts at the national and regional level. The main findings of the research identify four major periods which represent phases in the process of paradigm change: the phase of Grand-Ideas, the phase of Action, the phase of Professionalization, and finally the phase of Ad-hocism. The development of these phases is related to geopolitical changes, socio-economic conditions, the social climate, and the planners' background. These phases are examined in the light of the theoretical framework proposed by Kuhn concerning the development of scientific paradigms.

Reapplication and extension: intergenerational mobility in the United States

This paper replicates and extends Solon's [Am. Econ. Rev. 82 (1992) 393–408.] article “Intergenerational Income Mobility in the United States ”. The results confirm previous findings about the degree of transmission in earnings and consumption from fathers to sons. The correlation between fathers' and sons' earnings lies in the neighborhood of 0.4 and the correlation in consumption is larger. Using the sons' outcomes when they are 5 years older does not alter the estimates of the correlation in earnings, but the estimates of the correlation in consumption are smaller and closer to the estimates of the correlation in earnings. The estimates that use consumption data are sensitive to whether sons' 1984 or 1989 outcomes are used and to whether one adjusts for family size and structure.

Fairness reactions to personnel selection techniques in Singapore and the United States

This study investigates reactions to personnel selection techniques from the perspectives of working adults in the United States and Singapore, and provides a comparison of the two samples. Differences in the cultural values of the two countries are used to generate hypotheses. Working adults in Singapore (N = 158) and the United States (N = 108) rated the process favourability of eleven selection procedures and then indicated the bases for their reactions on seven procedural dimensions. Implications for selection in Singapore, the United States and in international contexts are discussed.
