Since independence, Israel has lived with a paradox, needing and
seeking legitimacy, understanding, and empathy from the world
community while simultaneously also discounting the world. This
volume reflects upon Israel's troubled attempts to balance its
desire to be different from a world that it simultaneously
genuinely needs and that it also wants to be a legitimate member
of. Gathering distinguished scholars and public figures, this
timely book discusses the causes and consequences of Israel's
unsettled relations with the world. With essays ranging from an
account of Israel's exile mentality and the cosmopolitanism of
suffering to a fragmenting international legal order and whether an
authentic religious process can transform religion into a powerful
lever for peace, the book's innovative analysis will spark both
academic and public debate. Israel in the World: Legitimacy and
Exceptionalism will appeal to scholars and students with broad
ranging research interests including Middle East Studies, Israeli
Studies and international relations more generally.
