{"product_id":"globalization-of-israel","title":"Globalization of Israel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on how globalization is impacting contemporary Israel. It is a concise and originally argued introduction to Israel, but the author, Uri Ram, is careful to frame his analysis in a broader discussion of Israeli history and broader social currents. Focusing in particular on two defining – and conflicting – contemporary trends; one toward advanced liberal democracy with a cosmopolitan edge, and the other toward ethno-religious traditionalism and rejection of the secularism associated with market driven globalization. The cosmopolitan, high-tech driven city of Tel Aviv represents the former trend, and Jerusalem – a city increasingly dominated by orthodox Jews – represents the latter. Using Benjamin Barber's Jihad versus McWorldthesis to good effect, Ram's book will stand as an ideal introduction to contemporary Israel and its place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44521337159918,"sku":"9780415953047","price":62.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415953047.jpg?v=1702050756","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/globalization-of-israel","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
