[b][i]Does Modern Democracy Have the Instruments to Defend Itself? Based on the Israel Example[/i][/b]

Journal Title: Krytyka Prawa. Niezależne studia nad prawem - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The “classical” democracies of the Western world showed a weakness towards totalitarian systems. The Weimar Constitution of Germany enabled Hitler to gain power. Turkey, as a result of Atatürk’s heritage, defends itself against the Muslim fundamentalism with its constitution and army. Will it manage? Poland, which experienced both black and red terror, included appropriate “defensive” para-graphs in its constitution. Is this effective? Israel is a secular parliamentary democracy, with no con-stitution. Is it really able to defend its system, despite being under pressure from the rabbis?
