AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In its brief history the Israeli political system has been characterized by a process of fission and fusion — the splitting apart and remerging of its political parties. This document presents an exhaustive analysis of this process by focusing on the major labor parties that have dominated the political system since their inception prior to Israeli independence in 1948. Aronoff explores the historical origin of the factional system in the pre-state Jewish YISHUV (the Jewish community in Palestine prior to independence), and relates the process of fission and fusion to the dynamic socio-economic and political changes that characterize the development of Israeli society. Major characteristics of the political culture and institutional framework are related to their influence on the factional system. The author's analysis focuses on the structural and functional characteristics of the factions in the Israel Labor Party and their importance to the political process, especially the competitive one (p. 14).
