Description: "The essays in this volume attempt to move beyond the question of Israel's 'uniqueness' to examine the pace and direction of change of Israel's political, social and economic institutions. Using the tools of comparative analysis, scholars from Israel, the United States and Europe describe the ways in which Israeli society is becoming more like other democratic industrialized societies and on what dimensions Israeli culture and institutions are slowing or resisting such convergence."--BOOK JACKET.
