Abstract
ABSTRACT:The article discusses the developmental stages of Israeli democracy: from the pre-state Jewish Yishuv, to the formative years of democracy in Israel; from the 1950s to the early 1960s; and during the years of liberalization and democratization, from the mid-1960s until the early 1980s. However, since the 1980s, the sense of inclusiveness and equality in Israeli society has gradually declined, amid antidemocratic legislation and the spread of antidemocratic incitement, polarization and authoritarian challenges to the political system. The article observes the dark clouds that threaten Israel's democracy and the struggle between its democratic and antidemocratic forces.
期刊介绍：
Israel Studies presents multidisciplinary scholarship on Israeli history, politics, society, and culture. Each issue includes essays and reports on matters of broad interest reflecting diverse points of view. Temporal boundaries extend to the pre-state period, although emphasis is on the State of Israel. Due recognition is also given to events and phenomena in diaspora communities as they affect the Israeli state. It is sponsored by the Ben-Gurion Research Institute for the Study of Israel and Zionism at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University, in affiliation with the Association for Israel Studies.
