Challenging the established view that the civilian sector in Israel hasbeen predominant over its security sector since the state's independence in 1948, this volume critically and systematically reexamines the relationship between thesesectors and provides a deeper, more nuanced view of their interactions. Individualchapters cast light on the formal and informal arrangements, connections, anddynamic relations that closely tie Israel's security sector to the country'sculture, civil society, political system, economy, educational system, genderrelations, and the media. Among the issues and events discussed are Israel'sseparation barrier, the impact of Israel's military confrontations with thePalestinians and other Middle Eastern states -- especially Lebanon -- and the impactof the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Israeli case offers insights about the roleof the military and security in democratic nations in contemporary times.
