Description

Product Description This perceptive study investigates the different ways in which the state deals with various social groups through the mechanisms of space. By means of case studies involving three social groups within Israel's multicultural society - the Sephardim, the Bedouin-Arab minority and the ultra-Orthodox community of Jerusalem - the different roles played by political space in legal analysis are revealed and analyzed. Issachar Rosen-Zvi then unearths the unifying logic underlying the disparate legal treatment of political space, brought to light by the case studies. The law treats political space differently depending on the social group involved, an attitude that, the author argues, can be traced back to early Zionist thinking. He concludes that a reform of local government law is required, to correct the segregated system of political space and the separate and unequal distribution of political power and economic resources that accompany it. Review 'This is an insightful and original study of the way in which politics, culture, and tradition, have molded the legal and political definitions of space within Israeli society. It's techniques and methods are rich in implications, that go far beyond the confines of the case-studies which form the body of the book. The book will be of great value to scholars who are interested in the politics of Israel, and also to those who are concerned more generally with the relationship between a legal system and the society in which it is located.' Professor Lawrence M. Friedman, Stanford University, Stanford California, USA 'This is a subtle, thoughtful and original treatment of how Israeli law has dealt with social group conflicts and hierarchies in the context of land use and political jurisdiction - an impressive study in the new interdisciplinary field of law and geography.' Professor Thomas C. Grey, Stanford Law School, USA '...highly original, penetrating and stimulating analysis of Israeli experience.' The Law and Politics Book Review '...illustrates how the space concept is used by different social groups to increase or consolidate their political and economic power.'
