Infos

Composed of essays and commentaries delivered in 1985 at a conference entitled 'Israel at the Dawn of the Conservative Age,' this volume is the first self-consciously conservative collection of essays and commentaries by Israelis and Jews on the subjects of Jewish liberalism, Israel, and social science methods. The volume introduces Israel's first conservative think tank and attempts to explore the political implications of the failure of liberalism in context of a conservative and Israeli standpoint. Sections include: (I) Liberalism and Leadership: Exile and Nationalism in Modern Jewish History; (II) 'Conservative' Parties in Twentieth-Century Democracies: The Example of Likud; (III) Liberalism and the Intellectuals: Media and the Arts; (IV) Islam and the Jews; (V) The Critique of Social Science and the Problem of International Relations; (VI) Banquet Addresses; (Appendix) The Helms Initiative: A Report from the Initiators. Co-published with the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies.
