Politics and Government in Israel : The Maturation of a Modern State, Hardback Book

Politics and Government in Israel : The Maturation of a Modern State Hardback

Hardback

Description

This balanced and comprehensive text explores Israeli government and politics from both institutional and behavioral perspectives.

After briefly discussing Israel's history and the early development of the state, Gregory Mahler then examines the social, religious, economic, cultural, and military contexts within which Israeli politics takes place.

He makes special note of Israel's geopolitical situation of sharing borders with, and being proximate to, several hostile Arab nations.

The book explains the operation of political institutions and behavior in Israeli domestic politics, including the constitutional system and ideology, parliamentary government, the prime minister and the Knesset, political parties and interest groups, the electoral process and voting behavior, and the machinery of government.

Mahler also considers Israel's foreign policy setting and apparatus, the Palestinians and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the particularly sensitive questions of Jerusalem and the Israeli settlement movement, and the Middle East peace process overall.

This clear and concise text provides an invaluable starting point for all readers needing a cogent introduction to Israel today.
