Zion and State explores the origins of the struggle between the left and right in Israel and the Zionist movement. Mitchell Cohen traces the emergence of Jewish nationalism and modern Jewish political ideologies in the late nineteenth century, the birth of Zionist political parties at the time of Theodor Herzl, and the genesis of Israeli politics through the first fifteen years of Jewish statehood. Analyzing the political battles of the 1920s and 1930s, Cohen shows how the Zionist Labor movement led by David Ben-Gurion defeated the challenge of the right-wing Revisionist Zionists led by Vladimir Jabotinsky, demonstrating how the growing dominance of Labor made the birth of Israel possible. At the same time, the author argues that once in power, the labor movement's long-term policies were ultimately self-defeating and helped to lay the groundwork for its own undoing in the 1970s. This new and expanded edition of Zion and State includes a new preface and a new essay, "Between Revolution and Normalcy."

In Zion's Dilemmas, a former deputy national security adviser to the State of Israel details the history and, in many cases, the chronic inadequacies in the making of Israeli national security policy. Chuck Freilich identifies profound, ongoing problems that he ascribes to a series of factors: a hostile and highly volatile regional environment, Israel's proportional representation electoral system, and structural peculiarities of the Israeli government and bureaucracy.Freilich uses his insider understanding and substantial archival and interview research to describe how Israel has made strategic decisions and to present a first of its kind model of national security decision-making in Israel. He analyzes the major events of the last thirty years, from Camp David I to the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, through Camp David II, the Gaza Disengagement Plan of 2005, and the second Lebanon war of 2006.In these and other cases he identifies opportunities forgone, failures that resulted from a flawed decision-making process, and the entanglement of Israeli leaders in an inconsistent, highly politicized, and sometimes improvisational planning process. The cabinet is dysfunctional and Israel does not have an effective statutory forum for its decision-making—most of which is thus conducted in informal settings. In many cases policy objectives and options are poorly formulated. For all these problems, however, the Israeli decision-making process does have some strengths, among them the ability to make rapid and flexible responses, generally pragmatic decision-making, effective planning within the defense establishment, and the skills and motivation of those involved. Freilich concludes with cogent and timely recommendations for reform.
