Israel is not the only 'new' state around, but it is one of the few
states whose legitimacy is still questioned, and its future affects
the future of the Middle East as a whole and probably the stability
of the international system. The reasons for this unique reality
lie in its past and the particular historical circumstances of its
birth. This book seeks to update analysis of the political history,
contemporary politics, economics and foreign policy of this unique
state. The first part of the book provides a general history of
Israel since its inception until 2000. This general history evolves
around the political development of the state, beginning with its
origins in the early Zionist history (1882-1948) and ending with
the turn of the century. The second part focuses on three
contemporary aspects of present-day Israel: its political economy,
its culture and its international relations. An epilogue describes
Israel's complex international image today and its impact on the
state and its future. Providing a solid infrastructure from which
readers can form their own opinions, this book offers a fresh
perspective on developments both on the ground and in recent
scholarship, and is essential reading for students, journalists and
policy makers with an interest in Middle Eastern History, Jewish
Studies and Israel Studies.
