Reviews

'Ariely introduces an original and variegated approach in his systematic classification of the Israeli regime. He very effectively explains how the ability of the state to strike a balance between different levels of democratic and non-democratic administrative and institutional tools, in various zones of control enable the regime to maintain its stability, despite its many contradictions.' Amal Jamal, Tel-Aviv University 'Is Israel a democracy? Gal Ariely approaches this fraught question from a novel perspective, telling us that it depends on where you look - which of Israel's disputed borders you choose and on which dimensions of democracy you focus. This meticulously researched and carefully analyzed book is an eye-opener, offering an innovative way of thinking about democracy.' Joel S. Migdal, University of Washington and Hebrew University of Jerusalem 'This is a timely and innovative book. It contributes to both the literature on democracies and Israel. Relying on his vast theoretical knowledge and research experience, Gal Ariely defuses the charged rhetoric about the Israeli regime and presents the reader with a dispassionate, nuanced, and clear picture.' Ami Pedahzur, University of Texas, Austin
