Acknowledgments
This book was written by myself and I am solely responsible for its contents and conclusions. It should be noted that the Ph.D. research conducted by me paved the way for writing this book. I would like to express my gratitude to my Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. Eitan Barak, for his support and advice during my Ph.D. research at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. As part of my postdoctoral studies at the Freie Universität in Berlin, I got to know and work collaboratively with Prof. Thomas Risse and Dr. Ingo Peters. The knowledge that I gained from them in the field of an academic research also substantially contributed to the writing of the book. Special thanks goes to Avishai Sabag for his significant help in consolidating the economic data implemented in the study. Finally, I would also like to thank my wife Nadia who has supported me all the way through the writing process until the publication of the book.
