Communicating Security
Civil-Military Relations in Israel
This book analyzes the changes and tendencies expressed in the relation between army and society in Israel.
Since its inception, Israel has been defined as a nation in arms, a public space in which the security needs became central and, to a great extent, dictated the agenda and functioning of all the public arenas operating in it. The theoretical investigation is accompanied by case study illustrations of special instances related to the nexus between:
security and society
security and politics
the army and the media
the army and public relations
security and culture
bereavement and commemoration
social motivation to serve in the army
the army and foreign policy
Lebel explores the connection between the military and culture in Israel against the backdrop of globalization, individualism, liberalism, and social burn-out in the face of survival and change.
