An edition of Militarism and Israeli society (2010)

Militarism and Israeli society

Often, the classic theory of civil-military relations are insufficient when trying to comprehend the Israeli case. The essays within this book challenge that the civilian sector in Israel has maintained its predominance over the security sector since the state's independence in 1948. They provide a deeper and more nuanced view of the actual situation and also throw light on the formal and informal arrangements, connections, and dynamic relations between Israel's security sector, and the country's civilian sector to include the cultural sphere, the political system, society, the economy, and the public discourse. Issues and events discussed are Israel's separation barrier, the impact of Israel's military confrontations with the Palestinians and other Middle Eastern states, and the impact of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Israeli case offers insights about the role of the military and security in democratic nations in contemporary times.
