Description
In this book, the authors explore the dilemmas of a nation struggling to reconcile tradition with present domestic and foreign challenges. The book examines the divisions between Oriental and Ashkenazi derived Jews and between Jewish and Arab citizens, before turning to the economic concerns facing a land devoid of natural resources and to a detailed consideration of the dynamics of the Israeli political system. This edition offers an analysis of the 1988 and 1992 elections, the immigration of Jews from the former Soviet Union and recent developments in the US-Israeli relationship. It includes a discussion of the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict, focusing on the Intifada and the current peace negotiations.
