• Statement of Responsibility: ed. by Ehud Sprinzak, Larry Diamond.

The authors explore the increasing ungovernmability of the Jewish state, its obsolete electoral system and cynical coalition politics, its overburdened judiciary, its stagnant economy, and related issues. While highly critical, they present the most comprehensive effort to date to provide a scholarly foundation for political reform in Israel.
