Towards a General Theory of Jewish Political Interests and Behavior
This chapter seeks to develop a more general theory of Jewish political behavior based upon a broader view of Jewish political interests. It demonstrates that the political liberalism of Jews is a particular variant of Jewish political behavior, occurring only under specific historical and societal conditions, rather than a universal phenomenon.

The Founding Of Israeli Democracy, 1948-1967
Of the twenty-one countries which established democratic states after 1945, only Israel has remained a functioning democracy, despite the adverse conditions under which it was founded.

The argument that theories of elite rule are ‘unrealistic’ and ‘straw men’, is rejected, and the need for such ideal-type models is demonstrated on methodological grounds. The classic ruling elite model associated with Mosca and Michels is shown to be grossly deficient. Robert Dahl's approach is critically examined. An alternative ruling elite model is proposed, and its advantages in terms of a broad theory of political power and of its methodolo…
