Israel Behind the Headlines: A Unique Democracy

Moshe Pomerantz presents the following lecture/class:

With a figurehead President, a Judiciary without juries, and never having a government complete its four year mandate, Israel has a 'special' form of democracy. Moshe Pomerantz will bring you up to date on how democracy works in Israel and how the election process influences the practical issues of governing Israel.  It's not quite the European and definitely not the American way, but Israel has a system of government that reflects a strong democratic process that is often filled with issues, confrontations, and no shortage of entertainment.
