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.
Covers an extraordinary political event of having four national
elections in two years. The book relies on empirical analysis,
including extensive use of the Israel National Election Studies
data; on theoretical rigor; and on the contextualization of the
elections from comparative and long-term perspectives. Ideal for
students and researchers of Israeli politics and society, electoral
studies and the crisis of democracy more generally.

What do Beppe Grillo, Silvio Berlusconi, Emmanuel Macron (and also
Donald Trump) have in common? They are prime examples of the
personalization of politics and the decline of political parties.
This volume systematically examines these two prominent
developments in contemporary democratic politics and the
relationship between them. It presents a cross-national comparative
comparison that covers around 50 years in 26 democracies through
the use of more than 20 indicators. It offers the most
comprehensive comparative cross-national estimation of the variance
in the levels and patterns of party change and political
personalization among countries to date, using existing works as
well injecting fresh cross-national comparative data. In the case
of party change, it offers an analysis that extends beyond the
dichotomous debate of party decline versus party adaptation. In the
matter of political personalization, the emphasis on variance helps
in bridging between the high theoretical expectations and
disappointing empirical findings. As for the theoretically sound
linkage between the two phenomena, not only is this the first study
to comprise a comprehensive cross-national examination, but it also
proposes a more nuanced understanding of this relationship.
Comparative Politics is a series for researchers, teachers, and
students of political science that deals with contemporary
