Sandberg's monograph, in short, is sure to become a foundational text in the field of Israeli land laws and policies, and it is most highly recommended to anyone, professional and layperson alike, who has an interest in this aspect of the Jewish state's journey.\u003c\/p\u003e - David Rodman - Independent Scholar (Israel Affairs)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in the world, the State of Israel faces serious land policy challenges and has a national identity laced with enormous internal contradictions.

The regulation of property and the determination of land usage have been the consequences of explicit choices made in the context of competing and evolving concepts of national identity. \u003ci\u003eLand Law and Policy in Israel\u003c\/i\u003e will prove to be a must-read not only for anyone interested in Israel but also for anyone who wants to understand the importance of land law in a nation's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eNotes on Translation and Internet Hyperlinks\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Land Law and Land Policy\u003cbr\u003e1.
