| Summary |
Illuminates Israeli history through a unique state-in-society approach, using the Israeli experience to ask how social scientists can better investigate and understand other societies. Three central themes are at the core of this analysis: state formation, society formation, and the mutually constitutive roles of state and society. Asks how particular societies and states end up with their distinctive character, how the rules that shape everyday behavior are determined, and how and when patterns of privilege change. Migdal teaches international studies at the University of Washington. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR |
