Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an analysis of the struggle between Israel's hawks and doves for control of national policy. As he explores the inner workings of Israel's major parties - Likud, Labor, and the National Religious party - the author assesses the interaction between domestic political combat, internal succession and identity crises, and Israeli policy on key peace process issues. He weighs likely shifts in the dove/hawk balance and the territorial, Palestinian, and negotiating policies they are likely to produce. His focus on likely developments in the conservative camp reflects his long-held conviction that the hawks will determine Israel's future policies.
