The Praetorian State and the Praetorian Army
The influence of the Roman Praetorian Guard was based on three factors: the Guard’s monopoly on local military power, the absence of definitive rules of succession, and the prestige of the Roman Senate. Praetorian conditions are connected with professional military establishments and structures, some of which are institutionalized ahead of concomitant political and socioeconomic structures—political parties, parliaments, a centralized administrat…
The post‐Zionist war against Israel
This article is a critique of the new ‘post‐Zionist’ or ‘revisionist’ historians of Israel by a major commentator on Middle Eastern affairs. Its author takes issue with both the methods, and principal conclusions, of some of the leading exponents of the so‐called ‘new school’ and of Israeli historical scholarship

Nato's Expensive Trip East
The Israel-PLO Accord Is Dead
Revising Roosevelt … Again
Virtually a half-century beyond the end of World War II, histories of Franklin Roosevelt's wartime diplomacy have come almost full circle. First there were the Roosevelt cheerleaders and apologists. Close on their heels came the conservative revisionists accusing the president of a sellout at Yalta. Weighing in over the intervening years has been a small army of rerevisionists to add footnotes-and some mild criticism-to the general applause for D…
Arafat's Police State
Palestine is on the road to becoming what Samuel Huntington has defined as a praetorian state. Such states have a low level of political institutionalization and a fractured political structure in a unstable political climate. They are not necessarily military-dominated but are rigid, top-heavy and lack a viable middle class. For such states, political stability and a democratic or even pluralistic regime are unachievable

The Political Influence of the Military

This article is an effort to establish a comparative theoretical framework for the study of civil-military relations in communist political systems. Although the literature on civil-military relations in polyarchic and praetorian polities is theoretically as well as empirically rich, theories of civil-military relations in the field of comparative communism are still at the preliminary stage of development. It is argued that civil-military relati…
American Policy in the Middle East
A Palestinian Entity
For those who look to the Middle East for an imminent resolution to the Palestinian question, there would seem to be little hope. Israeli Prime Minister Begin's settlement policy, the adamant Palestinian-state-or-nothing stance of the PLO, the stubbornness of the Arab rejectionist front, American vacillation, and Jordanian reluctance to enter the Camp David negotiations-all are reasonable causes for pessimism. The solution to this difficult quest…

The Presidential Political Center and Foreign Policy
Fundamental to modern politics is the fact that politics of security and diplomacy are central to society. Historically, foreign and security politics have been the main priorities of the political center, conducted primarily on that level. Since 1945, these political centers have gained predominance in die U.S. In the absence of well-integrated political elites, a highly centralized political party or parties, and powerful and permanent bureaucr…

The Life and Times of Menachem Begin
The Israeli Army in Politics
The 1967 lightning victory of Zahal, the Israel Defense Forces, was the result of a philosophy that had considered military effort as an instrument of nation-building from the very beginning of the Zionist movement in Palestine. In 1948, the Israeli War of Liberation thrust the army into prominence, and from then on army leaders have been influential in the governmental and economic elites committed to rapid modernization. The Sinai victory in 19…
The Comparative Analysis of Military Regimes
Recent literature demonstrates that modern military regimes are actually military-civilian coalitions. The old dichotomy of civil/military is no longer a useful explanation for the politics and the dynamics of military regimes. Role expansion, new professionalism, and mission orientation have changed military missions, doctrines, and self-perception. The author proposes and develops a comparative analysis and a typology of contemporary military r…

From Obscurity to Rule
YRIA has had no stable civilian rule since 1949, the year of her first army coup; her politics have become a theater for ambitious army men.' In the twenty-four years since Syria gained independence from the French, the country has had eight years of parliamentary rule (1945-49 and 1954-58) and five years of semi-parliamentary government (late 1961 to February 1966). Long periods of military intervention has alternated with shorter eras of parlia…
Egypt and the Myth of the New Middle Class
Authors in recent literature on developing polities have been searching for a middle class that could and, some even argue, should assume primary responsibility for all phases of development: social, economic, and political. This middle class has been identified as the New Middle Class (NMC). In contrast to the 'old' middle class, the authors maintain, the NMC will create leaders; is more numerous; possesses organizational skills; is honest; deve…

A. D. Gordon was a Utopian mystic whose personal ethical system became the philosophical mainstay of the early pioneer movement in Palestine. He personfied socialist-Zionism, that pragmatic synthesis of Judaism, socialism, humanitarianism and naturalism from which the dominant nationalist ideology of the modern state of Israel evolved. But Gordon was more than a nationalist philosopher; he was also an educator. Gordon himself viewed his theories …

Dov Ber‐Borochov
The Socialist-Zionist movement played a key role in Zionist colonization of Palestine. Its ideology became the most influential and persistent in the Jewish community in Palestine (the Yishuv) before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Socialist-Zionism has been associated with most of the pioneer and colonizing efforts, institutions and procedures since the second Zionist immigration wave (hadAliya ha-Shnia) to Palestine in 1904-05…

The Myth of the Myth of the New Middle Class
In his rejoinder to my essay, 'Egypt and the Myth of the New Middle Class', Professor Halpern clings to a limited and dysfunctional concept. The concept of NMC was of limited use in 1963 when he wrote The Politics of Social Change in the Middle East and North Africa; since then, it hasproved to be a misleading tool for explaining the politics of change in the Middle East, yet Halpern persists in reaffirming it. For seven years, Professor Halpern …

Berl Katznelson and the theory and practice of revolutionary constructivism
Zionism today is a reality. There exists a highly institutionalised and progressive Israel.' Yet not so long ago it was in the realm of aspiration and utopia. In the world of the intellectual nomads, the young radicals of Jewry travelling from Mikhailovsky to Bakunin, from Marx to Plekhanov, from Lenin to Bernstein, Zionism was relegated to sentimentalism. What suddenly brought about its realisation? What forces recruited and invigorated Zionist …
