Abstract or Brief Description

FROM THE REVIEW:
"It is easy to get trapped in the web of silk threads that Nitzan and Bichler interweave in this fascinating manuscript on international politics and national-global capitalism. . . . 'The Global Political Economy of Israel' is one of the most important books on political-economics. It presents a critical and coherent picture of Israel's development from the 'national' phase to the global and manages to derive insights on the forms of making a ruling class. For that reason, the book is not only for Israeli readers. The book can be addressed to researchers and students of political and social geography all over the world, who are interested in state theory and in processes of accumulation and globalization – mainly in relation to the intensification of multi-national corporations and transnational capitalism".
