The Israeli Response to Jewish Extremism and Violence Hardback
by AMI PEDAHZUR
Part of the New Approaches to Conflict Analysis series
Hardback
Description
Ami Pedahzur looks at the theoretical issue of how a democracy can defend itself from those wishing to subvert or destroy it without being required to take measures that would impinge upon the basic principles of the democratic idea.
The text links social and institutional perspectives to the study, and includes a case study of the Israeli response to Jewish extremism and violence, which tests the theoretical framework outlined in the first chapter.
There is an extensive diachronic scrutiny of the state's response to extremist political parties, violent organizations and the infrastructure of extremism and intolerance within Israeli society.
The book emphasises the dynamics of the response and the factors which encourage or discourage the shift from less democratic and more democratic models of response.
