| Title Proper | Lessons from Shas about Israel |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Howson, Luke |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article focuses on the Israeli ethno-religious party Shas and its role in the Israeli social and political structure. It is argued that while Shas functions successfully in Israel’s Western-style political system, it does so as a more typical “Middle Eastern” party. Thus understanding the context within which Shas operates and its relation to political and societal divisions offers an insight into Israeli society and its political system. |
