Conclusions and Summary 330 $a"What does Israel's definition as a 'Jewish and democratic' state mean? How does it affect constitutional law? How does it play out in the daily life of the people living in Israel? This book provides a unique and detailed examination of the consequences of the 'Jewish and democratic' definition. It explores how the definition affects the internal ordering of the state, the operation of the law, and the ways it is used to justify, protect and regenerate certain features of Israeli constitutional law. It also considers the relationship between law and settler-colonialism, and how this relationship manifests itself in the constitutional order. This book offers a novel perspective on the Jewish and democratic definition rooted in constitutional theory and informed by a socio-legal approach. Relying on a wide range of court cases and statutes as well as secondary sources, it shows how the definition is deeply embedded in the constitutional structure, and operates, as a matter of law, in a manner that concentrates political power in the hands of the Jewish citizens and excludes the Palestinian Arab citizens in Israel from the political process. This book is a timely intervention in an increasingly important question, and is essential reading for those who want to understand Israel's character, its relationship with the constitutional order, and its impact on society."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aHart studies in comparative public law ;$vv. 13. 606 $aConstitutional history$zIsrael 606 $aConstitutional law$zIsrael 606 $aReligion and state$zIsrael 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zIsrael 606 $2Constitutional & administrative law 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aReligion and state 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation 676 $a342.5694 700 $aMasri$b Mazen$01208691 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162765303321 996 $aThe dynamics of exclusionary constitutionalism$92788656 997 $aUNINA
