Although some observers interpreted these results as a fundamental shift in public opinion, there is little evidence to support this. The book shows how old patterns funneled into a new system of voting produced the 1999 results, where a weak candidate (Barak) bested a wounded prime minister (Netanyahu) abandoned by most of his political allies. Leading social scientists from Israeli and American universities, using a variety of approaches and coming from diverse intellectual traditions, address topics including the emergence of political blocs, strategic voting, and split ticket voting. In addition to major party performance, special interest parties?who did better than ever in 1999?are also discussed, such as the haredi, ultra-orthodox, non-Zionist Shas, the anti-haredi secular Shinui, two parties appealing to former Soviet émigrés and Arab parties. 410 0$aSUNY Series in Israeli Studies 606 $aElections$zIsrael 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government$y1993- 615 0$aElections 676 $a324.95694/054 701 $aArian$b Alan$01801097 701 $aShamir$b Michal$f1951-$01028832 712 02$aMakhon ha-Yisre'li le-demokratyah. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968646003321 996 $aThe elections in Israel, 1999$94367685 997 $aUNINA
