Professor Paul Eidelberg is the founder and president of The Foundation for Constitutional Democracy and on the Advisory Council of the Ariel Center for Policy Research.

In An American Political Scientist in Israel Paul Eidelberg powerfully illuminates the problems and deficiencies of contemporary Israeli politics. According to this thoroughgoing inquiry, the deficiencies are deeply rooted in both ideological and institutional weaknesses. A pervasive moral relativism infects policy- making, leading to unprincipled decisions on vital matters, and a dysfunctional multi- party system renders the government incapable of coherent and decisive action. Eidelberg views the subject from two perspectives: his devotion to the historic promise of Judaism, and his political science profession. Readers will find much to think about on questions theological, philosophic, and psychological.
