| Summary | Annotation Authority and Participation in a New Democracy focuses on the changes undergone by Mapai, Israels first ruling party, during Israels first years of Independence, and then analyses the effects of these changes in relation to Israeli political culture. Barelis main claim is that it was only during this period that a hierarchically organised group of leaders succeeded in imposing its dominance, fostering obedience within the party and creating oligarchic characteristics in Israels democracy. The influence of the kibbutz movement, the moshavim movement and of urban intelligentsia - who represented the opposite political view of participatory democracy - was reduced to a minimum. This process would have a profound impact on issues of equality, on the relations between veteran Israelis and immigrants from both European and Islamic countries, and on social and civic norms. |
