About Book

This book examines the challenges faced by democracies in responding to internal threats, specifically focusing on Jewish extremism and violence in Israel. Ami Pedahzur explores the paradox of democratic defense, analyzing how states can safeguard themselves against groups attempting to subvert democratic principles without infringing on fundamental rights like freedom of speech and political organization. The book incorporates both institutional and societal frameworks to address the balance between security and preserving democratic integrity. Note: The book is directly relevant to themes of counterterrorism, governance, and protecting democratic principles, making it highly suitable for inclusion in the repository. Its focus on institutional and social frameworks further enriches its applicability to global rehabilitation and peacebuilding efforts.
