Books by Yoram Peri

This is the first account of Benjamin Netanyahu's political communication strategy during his term as prime minister. It presents the dramatic cultural and political changes that occurred in Israel in the 1990s with the creation of media-centered democracy. The author shows how Netanyahu used these to construct his political project-Telepopulism.

The assassination of Israel's prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, in November 1995 was a blow to the country's social body. In this book, 15 contributors from a range of disciplines-history, psychology, anthropology, political science, and cultural theory-survey the various reactions to the assassination and analyze its ramifications and repercussions.

Yoram Peri, a former adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Rabin, demonstrates in this book that state control over the military in Israel has been weak, and a pattern of civil-military partnership has emerged. This changing relationship involved the inner rivalries of Israel's Labour Party in particular.
