ISBN: 0813338735 ISBN-13: 9780813338736 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $54.10 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: December 2000 Annotation: The New Israel 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 is an insightful commentary on one of the most crucial international issues of our time. |
