Public Policy in Israel
In a nation that lacks consensus on the very nature of the state, and where policy making is heavily controlled by partisan politics, improved policy implementation capabilities are crucial for the very survival of Israeli society.

Jewish Centers and Peripheries
After World War II, the center of gravity for world Jewry moved outside Europe. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, large-scale emigration and postwar assimilation resulted in a disheartening contraction of European Jewry, with the notable exception of France. Today, Europe's Jews number only 17 percent of the world Jewish population. At the beginning of this century, they comprised 83 percent and were the center of the modern Jewish experience. In a radical reversal, former peripheries became the centers, notably American Jewry, the largest and most dynamic of the Diaspora communities, and the State of Israel. An examination of the altered place of Europe and its future role in Jewish histor...
Exploring Federalism
In this comprehensive analysis of federal or convenantal forms of government, Elazar explores the roots of federalism, traces its historical development, and portrays how federalism has been employed to promote workable governmental systems for people with diverse traditions. He identifies the several elements of federalism as a basis of political association, and describes how federalism defines political justice, shapes political behavior, and directs humans toward civic synthesis of the two. Elazar scans the centralizing and decentralizing trends in contemporary federal systems and explains why federalism is resurfacing as a significant political force in the postmodern epoch. He contends that through its covenantal foundations, federalism is an idea whose importance is akin to natural law in defining justice and delineating the origins and proper constitution of political society.

Muslim Anti-Semitism in Christian Europe
Modern Arab and Muslim hostility towards Jews and Israel is rooted not only in the Arab-Israeli conflict and traditional Islamic teaching but also in Christian anti-Semitic attitudes brought into the Islamic world by Western colonial powers. In this volume, Raphael Israeli examines how the worsening situation in the Middle East together with large waves of Muslim immigration to Europe, North America, and Australia has brought about a commingling of two anti-Semitic traditions. As the author explains, the unique interaction of Muslim immigrants in the West with the host societies brought them into contact with local, traditional anti-Semites of the xenophobic fascist and racist Right along wi...
Turkey
Turkey's involvement in the Gulf War in 1991 helped pave the way for the country's bid to join the European Union. This text traces that process. The first part looks at Turkey's foreign policy in the 1990s, while the second focuses on Turkey's role in internal politics during this period.
Reclaiming Israel's History
The Real History of Israel and the Palestinians No history is so disputed as the history of Israel. Some see Israel's creation as a dramatic act of justice for the Jewish people. Others insist that it was a crime against Palestine's Arabs. Author David Brog untangles the facts from the myths to reveal the truth about the Arab-Israeli conflict. In Reclaiming Israel's History you'll learn how the Jewish people have maintained a continual presence in the Land of Israel for over 3,000 years—despite centuries of Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim persecution; how the Romans invented the word "Palestine" as a way to sever the connection between the Jewish people and their land (and how subsequent conq...
