Dissertation Research: The Transnational Human Rights Movement in Israel

这个项目涉及将在以色列以外制定的人权准则移到当地国内环境中的问题。本研究的一部分侧重于以色列人权团体，特别是那些关注巴勒斯坦少数民族和非公民“外国工人”权利的团体，与从国外支持他们的主要组织和个人之间的关系。报告的另一部分考虑的是政府应对人权要求的努力。以色列高等法院的决定、立法和行政决定以及大众传播媒介的报道表明了这些努力的方向和内容。方法是人种学的，包括参与观察和与参与以色列人权活动的非政府组织面谈。在专门的图书馆和其他设施中进行档案研究，记录民权问题，并评估相关的判例法，这些都是该项目的附加内容。这项研究将有助于理解在全球人权和人权运动时代国家主权的演变。

This project is concerned with the of migration of human rights norms that have been developed outside Israel into the local domestic context. One part of this study focuses upon the relationship between human rights groups in Israel, especially those focusing on the rights of the Palestinian minority and non-citizen "foreign workers," and the key organizations and individuals supporting them from abroad. The other part of the study considers the government's efforts to deal with the human-rights demands being made upon it. The decisions of the Israeli High Court, legislative and executive decisions, and coverage by the mass media suggest the direction and content of these efforts. The methodology is ethnographic, including participant observation and interviews with non-governmental organizations involved in human-rights activism in Israel. Archival research in specialized libraries and other facilities documenting civil-rights matters and assessment of relevant case law are additional elements of this project. The research will contribute to understanding of the evolution of national sovereignty in an era of global human rights and human-rights activism.
