Electoral Reform in Israel

In 1992 Israel's electoral system was reformed by providing for the direct election of the Prime Minister alongside the general election of political parties to the government. This reform exacerbated the problems it was intended to remedy--such as instability and difficulty making security decisions--and in 2001 Israel reverted to a modified form of its old electoral system. Emanuele Ottolenghi examines this period of reform and the lessons that can be learned from it.Faure, David is the author of 'Electoral Reform in Israel ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781403932464 and ISBN 1403932468.
