Summary

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 Israelcontains contributions from both established Israeli sociologists and promising young scholars.The New Israel: Peacemaking and Liberalizationis an insightful commentary on one of the most crucial international issues of our time.
