The newest volume in the Elections in Israel series focuses on the
twentieth Knesset elections held in March 2015 following the
collapse of the third Netanyahu government. Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's main opposition party, the Zionist Camp, ran a negative
personalized election campaign, assuming that Israelis had grown
tired of him. Netanyahu, however, achieved a surprising and
dramatic victory by enhancing and radicalizing the same identity
politics strategies that helped him win in 1996. The Elections in
Israel 2015 dissects these and other campaigns, from the
perspective of the voters, the media and opinion polls, the
political parties, and electoral competition. Several contributors
delve into the Left and Arab fear mongering Likud campaign, which
produced strategic identity voting. Other contributions analyze
in-depth the Israeli party and electoral systems, highlighting the
exceptional decline of the mainstream parties and the adoption of a
higher electoral threshold. Providing a close analysis of electoral
competition, legitimacy struggles, stability and change in the
voting behavior of various groups, partisanship, personalization
and political polarization, this volume is a crucial record of
Israeli political history.
