Welcome to the website of The Center for Democratic Studies at the University of Haifa. The Haifa Center for Democratic Studies aims to promote awareness and understanding of civic culture in democracy. Recognizing the growing need to secure the foundations of democracy and to facilitate conditions for pluralism, the Center has established a national and international forum for deliberation and discussion. The main focus is on the role of ethics and justice in all spheres of public life: politics; economy; culture; academy; business; law; media and medicine. Special attention is paid to the delicate balance between democracy and Judaism.

 

 

Peace is the key for Israel's survival.

Peace in the Middle East requires vision and boldness.

Peace is a precious commodity. Like any other precious commodity it is expensive. Those who wish peace should be willing to pay and sacrifice for it.

Peace pact should be fair and just for all signatories, otherwise its worth is no more than a piece of paper.

Peace is maintained only when its signatories are happy and content with it; only when they have more to gain by peace, and much more to lose if peace is annulled.
