Garnett.While policy makers and scholars have long devoted considerable attention to strategies like deterrence, which threaten others with unacceptable consequences, such threat-based strategies are not always the best option. In some cases, a state may be better off seeking to give others a greater sense of security, rather than by holding their security at risk. The most prominent use of these security assurances has been in conjunction with efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.Ongoing concerns about the nuclear activities of countries like Iran and North Korea, and the posNuclear nonproliferationNational securitySecurity, InternationalElectronic books.Nuclear nonproliferation.National security.Security, International.327.1/747Knopf Jeffrey W1055414MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462116503321Security assurances and nuclear nonproliferation2488782UNINA04044nam 2200673Ia 450 991045756570332120210603203409.00-520-93001-01-4337-0965-110.1525/9780520930018(CKB)1000000000354393(EBL)291503(OCoLC)133764918(SSID)ssj0000248639(PQKBManifestationID)11187465(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000248639(PQKBWorkID)10203513(PQKB)10824866(MiAaPQ)EBC291503(DE-B1597)519265(DE-B1597)9780520930018(Au-PeEL)EBL291503(CaPaEBR)ebr10170142(EXLCZ)99100000000035439320061003d2006 uy 0engurun#---|u||utxtccrSon of cypresses[electronic resource] memories, reflections, and regrets from a political life /Meron Benvenisti ; translated by Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta in consultation with Michael Kaufman-LacustaBerkeley Los Angeles University of California Press20061 online resource (263 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-23825-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --1.

Descriptions and Prescriptions --Epilogue --Index"Now that I am seventy years of age, it is my prerogative to offer a summing up," says Meron Benvenisti, internationally known author and columnist, Jerusalem native, and scion of Israel's founders. Born in Palestine in 1934 to a Sephardic father and an Ashkenazi mother, Benvenisti has enjoyed an unusual vantage point from which to consider his homeland's conflicts and controversies. Throughout his long and provocative career as a scholar, an elected official, and a respected journalist, he has remained intimately involved with Israel's social and political development. Part memoir and part political polemic, Son of the Cypresses threads Benvenisti's own story through the story of Israel. The result is a vivid, sharply drawn eyewitness account of pre-state Jerusalem and Israel's early years. He memorably sets the scene by recalling his father's emotional journey from Jewish Salonika in 1913 to Palestine, with all its attendant euphoria and frustration, and his father's pioneer dedication to inculcating Israeli youth with a "native's" attachment to the homeland. In describing the colorful and lively Jerusalem in which he grew up, Benvenisti recalls the many challenges faced by new Jewish immigrants, who found themselves not only in conflict with the Arab population but also with each other as Sephardim and Ashkenazim. He revisits his own public disagreements with both Zionists and Palestinians and shares indelible memories such as his boyhood experiences of the 1948 War. In remembering his life as an Israeli sabra, Benvenisti offers a vivid record of the historical roots of the conflict that persists today.Arab-Israeli conflictInfluenceArab-Israeli conflict1993-PeaceJewsIsraelBiographySephardimIsraelBiographyIsraelPolitics and government20th centuryIsraelEthnic relationsElectronic books.Arab-Israeli conflictInfluence.Arab-Israeli conflictPeace.JewsSephardim956.9405092BBenvenisti Meron1934-210418MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457565703321Son of cypresses2469406UNINA01372ojm 2200253z- 450 991015773040332120251118111242.01-5159-9408-2(CKB)3710000001002196(BIP)060406241(ODN)ODN0003136102(EXLCZ)99371000000100219620231107c2017uuuu -u- -engWeb of Fear : A Police Procedural NovelTantor AudioA Girl Missing for the Whole World to SeeDetective Hannah Shor gets a case in the worst way possible-a friend calls her for help.
