Israel's precarious democracy

My recent series on Israel's precarious democracy is complete. Here are all four parts:

1. Historical and demographic background
2. Institutional factors
3. Immigration and the Law of Return
4. Options for the future

There are undoubtedly factors that I have neglected to take into account, and I may come back to these at some point. But for now I have tried to set forth the basic contours of one of the most difficult political issues, which thus far has eluded all attempts at settlement, and to point to two necessary preconditions for moving forward.
