Yossi Shain Biography

Yossi Shain is one of the most popular and richest Political Scientist who was born on September 21, 1956 in Kfar Saba, Central District, Israel. Yossi Shain, who was born September 21, 1956 in Israel, is the Romulo Betancourt professor of Political Science at Tel Aviv University. He also serves as the Head of TAU’s School of Political Science and Government and International Affairs, the Abba Eban Graduate Studies Programs in Diplomacy, and the Director of Frances Brody Institute for Applied Diplomacy. He is also Full Professor of Comparative Government, Diaspora Politics, at Georgetown University and the Founding Director for the Program for Jewish Civilization at Georgetown. He was also the President of Western Galilee College in 2007. Shain received his B.A. (Philosophy-1981cum laude) & M.A. (Political Science-1983), Tel Aviv University.

He is currently the head of the national committee responsible for revitalizing liberal arts, humanities and other disciplines.

Shain’s book The Language of Corruption: Israel’s Moral Culture (in Hebrew) claims that the Israeli judicial approach to corruption is counterproductive. This creates an impression that Israeli politics is afflicted by corruption. This creates distrust in politicians and politics, but does not address the root problem. A more nuanced approach, which recognizes the realities of politics, is better than a blanket ban on all political appointments.

Shain’s latest book The Language of Corruption and Israel’s Moral Culture appeared in Hebrew in 2010 and received national acclaim (English edition forthcoming). He is also the author of The Frontier of Loyalty: Political Exiles in the Age of the Nation-State (first edition 1989; new edition University of Michigan Press, 2005); Between States: Interim Governments and Democratic Transitions (with Juan J. Linz) (Cambridge University Press 1995); Marketing the American Creed Abroad: Diasporas in the U.S. and Their Homelands (Cambridge University Press 1999), the book was awarded the 2000 Best Book of the Year Prize by the Israeli Political Science Association; and Kinship and Diasporas in International Affairs (University of Michigan Press 2007). He also edited Governments-in-Exile in Contemporary World Politics (Routledge, 1991), and co-edited Democracy: The Challenges Ahead (with Aharon Kleiman, St. Martin’s, 1997) and Power and the Past: Collective Memory in International Affairs (with Eric Langenbacher, Georgetown University Press, 2010). Shain is now working on a book manuscript (with Sarah Fainberg) entitled, The Israelization of Judaism to be accompanied by a documentary.

Shain discusses his concerns about Qatar in his September 2014 article, “The Two Faces of Qatar”, published by The American Interest. Shain observes that Qatar “has played a brilliant double game between Islamism, the West, and offered aid and comfort to the former while doing the minimum required by the latter.” But Shain wonders “is this act starting to wear? Shain points out that recent events have not been in Qatar’s favor. The fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the rise Al-Sisi of Egypt were both devastating blows for Qatar’s understanding of the Middle East. The bitter enemies of the Egyptian regime are the Muslim Brothers. Egypt also turned against its main backers, the Qataris. Al Jazeera, a traitor to the Arab cause and the Emir, has been branded a terrorist inciter and instigator in Egypt. Gregg Carlstrom reported on the February crackdown by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He noted that Al Jazeera had become the mouthpiece for radical Jihadi views, with guests calling for the assault on Egypt’s Coptic minority. This, however, was not translated into Al Jazeera English.
