Opis

This book provides a detailed historical and political analysis of Israel's policy decision-making process towards the Occupied Territories, under successive Labour governments. The book argues that Israel did not have a strategic policy towards the Occupied Territories and instead engaged in non-decision making.

Recenzje

'Without doubt one of the best works available in understanding the decision-making process that has come to underpin Israel's approach to the Occupied Territories. It moves beyond the well-worn narratives dominated by strategic and religious concerns to explore the political malaise and bureaucratic deadlock that has shaped Israeli policy towards the West Bank and Gaza ever since.' Clive Jones, Professor of Regional Security, Durham University, UK
