Introduction: from centrism to neo-centrism / Shmuel Sandler and Jonathan Rynhold -- The run-up to the election / Manfred Gerstenfeld -- Kadima and the centre: convergence in the Israeli party system / Reuven Y. Hazan -- Downfall of a dominant party: the Likud and the 2006 election / Jonathan Spyer -- No longer dominant, playing for second: the Israel Labour Party in the 2006 election / Neill Lochery -- The religious parties in the 2006 election / Asher Cohen -- The revival of 'Russian' politics in Israel: the case of the 2006 election / Vladimir (Ze'ev) Khanin -- Stability amidst flux: the Arab parties come of age in the 2006 general elections... The 2006 Israeli elections constituted a major redrawing of the political map, due to Ariel Sharon's exit from the Likud party and his creation of a new centre-right party, Kadima. This book considers the challenges that face the new government in the wake of the election results. |
