The Globalization of Israel

Mehr zum Buch

The book examines the dual influences of globalization on contemporary Israel, contrasting the cosmopolitan, high-tech environment of Tel Aviv with the traditional, orthodox-dominated atmosphere of Jerusalem. Uri Ram analyzes the tension between advanced liberal democracy and ethno-religious traditionalism, situating his discussion within a broader historical context. Utilizing Benjamin Barber's Jihad versus McWorld thesis, this work serves as a compelling introduction to Israel's complex societal dynamics and its global significance.
