Lærebok i hvordan autokrater overtar et demokrati - Eksempel fra Israel

Artikkel i Haaretz, som egentlig er en bokanmeldelse om "Lærebokfor autokrater".
Forfatterene er professor Kim Lane scheppele.
Den beskriver trinnene ved en autokrats overtakelse av ledelsen av et land ved "lovlige" former i et demokrati.

Bokens tillel er "Autocratic Legalism" og ble publisert i 2018.
Artikkelforfatteren i Haaretz bruker boken som bakgrunn for denne artikkelen:

"The Book Israelis Must Read Today to Understand Their New Reality"

"Prof. Kim Lane Scheppele's 'Autocratic Legalism' – which explains how modern-day tyrannies gradually weaken the gatekeepers – will buoy the battle for Israel's democracy"

Utdrag:

Om Netanyahu:
"We’ve heard that Netanyahu is a true democrat, amid quotations from the past in which he enthusiastically defended the independence of the courts. Levin, meanwhile, has been portrayed as someone who sat in a forest hideout for 20 years working on a bomb to destroy democracy. But these depictions conceal the truth: Netanyahu is an authoritarian leader, heart and soul.

He palled around with populists like Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, and maintained close relationships with shameless dictators like Orbán and Vladimir Putin. The judicial overhaul we’ve been experiencing for nearly seven months is just the tip of a long process that has been pursued – fortunately for us – incautiously. There has been plenty of strutting, hubris and eye-poking, but the process has been Netanyahu’s goal for many years, even before he was indicted."

Om utdannelse:
"Forgive us, Israeli children, for we have been inattentive. The struggle over education has been neglected; it’s as if the ultra-Orthodox schools were part of a different country. The religious-Zionist community has an independent education system, and if that weren’t enough, there’s the long tradition of religious-Zionist politicians demanding the education portfolio in order to influence children of secular families as well."

Konklusjon:

Leseverdig informasjon, med tydeliggjøring av en prosess som har pågått lenge.
Og om Netanyahus langsiktige plan, samt om et flerdelt skolevesen.
