Based on a recent conference held in Washington, D.C., "Israel Faces the Future" explores some of the significant foreign and domestic issues facing Israel's government today and assesses Israel's future prospects. For the political scientist or lay person interested in the Middle East, this up-to-date book examines such issues as the country's heated debates over religion in national life, her inflation problem, her precarious place among hostile neighbors, and her role in America's foreign policy.
