The turmoil which has been rattling the Middle East in recent years
has confronted Israel with fresh challenges and opportunities and
requires it to rethink the three levels of its strategy and
security policies: National security Strategy (sometimes referred
to as Grand Strategy), National Security Policy and National
Military Strategy. The book points to the years 1979-1981 as the
years of transition from conventional military challenges faced by
Israel to the novel challenges of terrorism, missiles and rockets,
sub-state guerrilla organizations on its borders and the prospect
of nuclear weapons in hostile hands. Some of these challenges have
been exacerbated by the unraveling of neighboring Arab states. The
book's review of the evolution of Israeli policies through almost
seven decades of war and conflicts shows the absence of a
full-fledged grand strategy, the structural weakness of national
security policy formulation by successive governments at the
cabinet level and the dominant role of the IDF. This state of
affairs helps explain why and how Israel has responded to the
recent turmoil in a piecemeal fashion rather than formulate a
comprehensive policy that would enhance its ability to respond to
the new challenges and take advantage of the new opportunities.
