The New Israel - Peacemaking And Liberalization (Paperback, Revised)

"The New Israel: Peacemaking and Liberalization "argues that the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace process will be expedited by increased economic liberalization. Israel has undergone dramatic economic change in the 1990s, shifting from a strongly protectionist, state-centered economy to a more international, "neoliberal" one. The book maintains that these fundamental changes have in turn transformed Israeli society as a whole, resulting in a significant moderation of attitudes toward the Palestinian people and Palestinian nationalism. "The New Israel" contains contributions from both established Israeli sociologists and promising young scholars. "The New Israel: Peacemaking and Liberalization" is an insightful commentary on one of the most crucial international issues of our time.
