Daniel J. Elazar and the JCPA Staff
Of the over 180 politically sovereign states now in existence, 50 are either federations or include within them forms of self-determination and self-government which represent extensions of the federal principle or applications of the idea of political autonomy.

Israel
Constitution, Government and Politics
BooksThe Constitution of the State of Israel, 1996-5756, 3rd ed.
Daniel J. Elazar, ed.
Although Israel does not have a single complete constitutional document, in its nearly fifty years of statehood the Jewish state has developed an operative constitution of its own, embodied in a set of written texts that reflect the political system on which the state is based, its social content, and an expanding constitutional tradition. Those texts were properly promulgated by the representatives of the people and recognized as constitutional by Israel's Supreme Court. The texts are collected and presented here for what they are - Israel's operative constitution that determines the basic operations of the Israeli polity, the basic rules of governance enforced by those empowered to execute and enforce the law and, as such, interpreted by the courts as a constitution.

Edited by Daniel J. Elazar and Shmuel Sandler
Israel at the Polls, 1992 is the fifth book in the "Israel at the Polls" series begun in 1977 with the "upset" in the Israeli elections that brought down the Labor government which had ruled in Israel since the founding of the state. In the 1992 elections Labor returned as the ruling party and this book looks at the question of whether those elections mark the beginning of a new era in Israeli politics. Thirteen essays evaluate the downfall of Likud and the "national" camp, the major and minor parties, and the Israeli Arab and ex-Soviet Jewish vote, as well as the impact of the elections on foreign policy, the Israeli army, the economy, the style of the media campaign, and the role of interest groups.

Israel and the Middle East
BooksFundamentalist Islam and Israel: Essays in Interpretation
Raphael Israeli
This book provides an in-depth account and analysis of Islamic fundamentalism today, a powerful religious movement having the most far- reaching goals, and how it has an impact on Israel's relations with the Arab and Islamic worlds. What Professor Israeli has to say is important not only for Israelis, but for the whole Western world, which now confronts revivalist Islam, not only in the Middle East but in Europe itself, and even in such far-flung fragments of European civilization as the united Sates and Australia. While the West has yet to learn how to deal with this movement, this book should be a great help in developing a proper understanding and a proper strategy to do so.JCPA and University Press of America, 1993, 220 pp., Softcover $21.50 - NS64Moshe Dayan on the Peace Process and the Future of Israel (Hebrew)

Shmuel Sandler
The impact of the nation in foreign policy is not synonymous with that of the state. Understanding the effect of the nation is important because of the contemporary reawakening of primordial national aspirations. This study examines nation-centered concerns in foreign policy as practiced within Israel. It reviews and analyzes the roots of the territorial dimension in Israeli foreign policy since the establishment of the state up to the present; the impact of Israeli domestic politics; and the rise of ethnonationalism in Israeli foreign policy.

Yakir Plessner
This work offers a wide-ranging critique of Israel's socialist economy, seeing Israel's economic problems as due to its departure from the institutions and rules which govern predominantly market economies. Israel's economy has been operating on principles too far from European Liberalism (or American neo-Conservatism) and too close to Socialism. While national imperatives may have been a reason for ignoring economic considerations, ultimately this strategy led to domination of the economy by the government and the systematic exclusion and distrust of private enterprise. As long as the economy is not reformed to create a hospitable climate for private investment, Israel will not be able to extricate itself from economic stagnation.

Jewish Political Tradition
BooksThe Bible and the Western Political Tradition
A four-volume exploration of the Covenant Tradition in Politics by Daniel J. Elazar
Covenant and Polity in Biblical Israel: Biblical Foundations and Jewish ExpressionsAuthority, Power and Leadership in the Jewish Polity: Cases and Issues
Volume 1 of The Covenant Tradition in Politics
Daniel J. Elazar
The covenants of the Bible are the founding covenants of Western civilization. They have their beginnings in the need to establish clear and binding relationships between God and humans and among humans. These relationships are primarily political in character in that they were designed to establish lines of authority, distributions of power, and systems of law. This first volume of a four-volume series addresses political uses of the idea of covenant, the tradition that has adhered to that idea, and the political arrangements that flow from it. The volume represents an in-depth exploration of biblical sources of the covenant tradition, its development in Scripture, and subsequently in Jewish history and thought. It traces the interconnections between ideas, culture, and behavior as well as between peoples and generations. Among the topics covered are covenant as a political concept, the Bible as a political commentary, the post-biblical tradition, medieval covenant theory, and Jewish political culture.

Volume 2 of The Covenant Tradition in Politics
Daniel J. Elazar
The second volume on the Covenant Tradition in Politics examines covenant as a political idea and its related political tradition with the culture and behavior that they produced, to focus on the struggle in Europe to produce a Christian covenantal commonwealth, a struggle that climaxed in the Reformed Protestantism of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This Christian adaptation of the biblical tradition, the integration of that adaptation with the traditions of the tribal oath societies of Northern Europe, the perforce limited medieval expressions of that synthesis, and the revival of covenant as the architectonic principle of the Protestant Reformation is an intricate and fascinating story. The book also briefly examines covenant and hierarchy in Islam and other premodern polities.

Volume 3 of The Covenant Tradition in Politics
Daniel J. Elazar
A century after the Protestant Reformation, the idea of the covenanted commonwealth was transformed into the idea of civil society organized around a political compact and governed by a written constitution consented to by the people it served. This transition took place along both the philosophic track championed by Hobbes, Spinoza, and Locke, which set down the theory and principles of modern democratic and republican civil society, as well as a very practical track pioneered by European settlers from various Reformed Protestant backgrounds - Puritans, Scottish Presbyterians, and Dutch Calvinists - who settled in the New World, most particularly what became first British North America and then the United States, which was established through a synthesis of the ideas of covenant and political compact.Covenant and Civil Society: The Constitutional Matrix of Modern Democracy
Volume 4 of The Covenant Tradition in Politics
Daniel J. Elazar
As the modern epoch unfolded, certain key institutions of the covenantal tradition scored major successes to become the norm for modern democratic republicanism. These included the idea that political society is a human artifact that humans established for themselves through political compact; the translation of essentially unenforceable medieval theories of constitutionalism into enforceable constitutional systems; the idea of popular sovereignty; and the development of consociational and cooperative forms of political and social organization. This volume is devoted to the exploration of these ideas and institutions, and the struggles to develop them in the Old World, especially in modern and early postmodern Europe.

Daniel J. Elazar and Andrea S. Arbel

As the major institutional link between the State of Israel and the diaspora communities, the reconstituted Jewish Agency stands at the nexus of this effort. Originally published as the first book- length guide to the Jewish Agency in 1984, the fully-updated 3rd edition gives a comprehensive overview of this important political instrumentality's history, evolution, present-day structure, activities, and relationship with world Jewry, complete with detailed charts and tables.
