In this book, the authors explore how Israel changed under Menachem Begin, the source of those changes, and how Israel is likely to evolve in a post-Begin era, focusing on Israel's foreign and defense policies, political and ideological trends, and the status of Israel's economy.
The years of Menachem Begin''s leadership were among the most turbulent in Israeli history. Domestically, the preeminence of the Labor Alignment was successfully challenged, the Likud government failed to reduce Israel''s high inflation rate, military and security expenditures reached new highs, and the politicization of economic policy increased. Internationally, although Israel''s policy toward the occupied territories and its regional strategy were the focus of domestic and international debate, Begin''s policies--departures from earlier norms--did successfully define Israel''s foreign policy agenda, and his outlook is likely to continue to influence policy considerations. The contributors to this volume explore how Israel changed under Begin, the source of those changes, and how Israel is likely to evolve in a post-Begin era.
