• Sommario/riassunto: Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and particularly after the Israeli-Arab War of 1967, a highly informal but simultaneously potent security network has influenced Israel's domestic sphere. Composed of acting and former security personnel and their partners in the state's various civilian spheres, this security network has affected Israeli culture, politics, society, economy, public discourse and foreign relations. This book discusses this major sociopolitical phenomenon ; and its effects in a comparative and theoretical perspective. First, it defines Israel's security network in a broad theoretical and comparative perspective. Second, it explains how Israel's security network emerged and acquired a hegemonic position in the area of national security and foreign policy. Third, it describes the security network and identifies its members. Fourth, it discusses and explains the multitude of roles that Israel's security network has come to play both domestically and externally. Fifth, it discusses similar phenomena in other relevant cases. Finally, it presents general analytical and theoretical conclusions.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book is a result of the 4th UNESCO-UNITWIN Symposium that took place in Seoul, Korea, on May 25 and 26, 2021. Held online for the first time due to the Covid-19 pandemic, distinguished arts management and cultural education scholars addressed a timely array of issues, including the power of arts participation to transform behavior and perceptions, inclusivity in arts education, the disruptions and opportunities of the lockdown, the power of arts creativity in broader problem solving, the role of local arts educators on the transcultural horizon, and the role of international cooperation in reconstituting vibrant national arts scenes. Encompassing visual, written, and performance arts education from primary through higher education, this book provides a unique window into the power of the arts to meet the harrowing tests we continue to face in the context of the global pandemic. The book offers a unique perspective that is both international in scope and addresses local responses to an unprecedented global pandemic with an emphasis on the Korean and East Asian context.
