US-Israeli Relations at the Crossroads (Israeli History, Politics, and Society)

"The dramatic global, regional and domestic changes that occurred after the unpredicted collapse of the Soviet Union have created a need to examine a host of theoretical and practical issues, particularly in regard to security and foreign relations. The U.S.-Israeli "special relationship" is no exception. This seemed, and is still viewed as, one of the most solid and stable bilateral relationships. Yet the new international and domestic reality in both the U.S. and Israel warrants a thorough re-examination."--BOOK JACKET. "This is the main purpose of the present collection of original essays by distinguished American and Israeli scholars. The essays deal with, among other things, the general global setting and its implications for this relationship; with "hard" strategic factors; and with less tangible aspects such as American images of Israel, the attitudes of American religious denominations, the situation of the American Jewish community, and the influence of public opinion and the media on American policy toward Israel."--BOOK JACKET. "Thus, by design, the essays are not only descriptive and analytical but deal with major theoretical issues such as the bases of policymaking and the validity of the main approaches to foreign policy and strategy, including the neorealist and domestic-politics approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
