Some seventy-five years after the boundaries of the British Mandate for Palestine were set, the State of Israel still lacks a defined territory and agreed-upon boundaries, except for its boundary with Egypt. This book examines this unusual situation, concentrating especially on the perceptions of territory and boundaries within the Zionist movement. Galnoor discusses the period from the first territorial decision in 1919 up to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, placing special emphasis on the relatively unknown Zionist, Palestinian, and Arab positions regarding territorial partition in 1937. And he argues that although dramatic changes have occurred in the international and regional arena, the partners to the conflict, the security considerations, and the international dilemmas, the 1937 decision contained the parameters of the choices that have confronted Arab and Israeli leaders ever since. His findings are of direct relevance to the ongoing Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, which once again revolve around the trade-off between national goals and territorial aspirations.

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
