520 1 $a"Political economist Bernard Avishai has been thinking and writing about Israel, most notably in his first and much-acclaimed book The Tragedy of Zionism, since going there to volunteer during the 1967 War. Now he returns to the topic with a passionate, incisive argument that the country must become a more complete democracy if it has any chance for a peaceful future. He exposes the connection between Israel's constitutional crisis and the other problems besetting the nation - the expansion of settlements, the alienation of Israeli Arabs, and the exploding ultra-Orthodox population. He also makes an intriguing case for Israel's new international businesses as forces that can change the country for the better." "With every year, peace in Israel seems to recede further into the distance, while Israeli arts and businesses advance. This contradiction cannot endure much longer. In cutting through the inflammatory arguments of partisans on all sides, Avishai offers something even more important than his pragmatic solutions: He offers hope."--BOOK JACKET.
