'Ariely introduces an original and variegated approach in his systematic classification of the Israeli regime. He very effectively explains how the ability of the state to strike a balance between different levels of democratic and non-democratic administrative and institutional tools, in various zones of control enable the regime to maintain its stability, despite its many contradictions.'
