The Political Psychology Of Israeli Prime Ministers: When Hard-Liners Opt For Peace

This book takes as an intellectual target of opportunity six Israeli prime ministers, asking why some of them have persisted in hard-line positions while others have become more flexible. Yael Aronoff argues that some leaders do change, and she explains why and how such changes come about. Although no hard-liner can stand completely still in the face of important changes, those with ideologies that act as obstacles to change, and who have an orientation toward the past, may need to be replaced if important policy shifts are to take place.
