Israel's Materialist Militarism

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of Israel's military policies from the Oslo Accords to the Second Lebanon War, the book introduces the concept of materialist militarism. It examines how social groups engage with the state, trading military sacrifice for social rewards, which fosters a culture of militarism. The analysis provides insight into the fluctuating dynamics of war and de-escalation, highlighting how the balance between sacrifice and reward shapes military strategies and national responses during this tumultuous period.
