Publisher's Synopsis
Galnoor examines a political system -- that of Israel -- as a network of communication both to and from the power centre. He develops a new theory of political communication, and applies it in order to define the distinction between political development per se and democratic development. His synthesis of politics, sociology, and communication may be the basis for truly comparative studies of how policies and decisions to use power are made.
′A most useful volume in any academic library collection on the Middle East or participatory democracies, especially those libraries serving upper-division students and up′ -- Choice, March 1983
