Identifying the key components of Israeli military doctrine and their roots in the Israeli security conception, Dr Levite reviews the evolution of this doctrine and assesses its impact on the Israeli Defence Force's performance in the Arab-Israeli wars. He evaluates the suitability of traditional Israeli doctrine for current strategic conditions and reflects on changes that might enhance both Israeli and regional stability. In the face of factors such as Israel's military conservatism and the need for innovation, the author also considers the prospects for doctrinal reform.
