It is the story of an unpopular politician, demonized by his political enemies, who operates under great time restraints to manage a pluralistic democracy losing ground to enchanted masses in public squares. Lacking support from his own national unity government, Peres reverted to his old-time alliance with Israel's technocrats in his combat against populism. Michael Keren analyzes the role of legal professionals, strategic experts, and economists in the three main events of the Peres era: the scandal over the killing of two Arab terrorists by the General Security Service; the efforts to renew the peace process in the Middle East after the Lebanon war; and the economic stabilization program of 1985. The analysis illumines Israel's hitherto unexplored technocratic stratum and its ongoing struggle over Israel's nature as an advanced industrial state. This stratum, the author contends, has,been the moving force behind the construction of the nuclear reactor in Dimona in the 1960s, the combat against populism in the 1980s, and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process of today. 606 $aPopulism$zIsrael 606 $aDemocracy$zIsrael 606 $aTechnology and state$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government$y1967-1993 615 0$aPopulism 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aTechnology and state 676 $a956.9405/4/092 700 $aKeren$b Michael$f1944-$0541038 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778854703321 996 $aProfessionals against populism$93717587 997 $aUNINA
