FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The essays here attempt to move beyond the question of Israels "uniqueness" to examine the pace and direction of change of Israels political, social and economic institutions. Using the tools of comparative analysis, scholars from Israel, the US and Europe describe the ways in which Israeli society is becoming more like other democratic industrialized societies and in what dimensions Israeli culture and institutions are slowing or resisting such convergence. The essays fall into four categories: political institutions and organizations; political economy; ethnicity and religion; and public policy. Back Cover These essays examine changes in Israels political, social and economic institutions, and describe how Israeli culture and institutions are resisting convergence. They are in four categories: political institutions and organizations; political economy; ethnicity and religion; and public policy.
