Global Politics - Essays in Honour of David Vital (Paperback)

Throughout his distinguished academic career Professor David Vital has in one way or another sought to emphasize, and to analyze, one of the truly revolutionary changes of our time: the re-engagement of the Jewish people - as a collective entity - in contemporary world affairs and international politics. Whether as a nation (the diaspora) or as a state (Israel), after a hiatus of nearly 2000 years, world Jewry is once again a recognized global factor, possessing both status and influence, to be reckoned with on the chessboard of diplomacy and statecraft.
