B. Katznelson was the author of the most comprehensive, analytical, intellectual, & humanistic interpretation of the Eastern European labor movement. The Zionists among whom socialist Zionism originated opposed Judaism's formal & institutional expressions, & sought to create a new form of Judaism through ownership of land. This led to the approach defined by Katznelson as revolutionary constructivism, carried out by pioneer cadres, communal settlement, & consolidation of agricultural unions. This led to the formation of Achdut Haavoda Party, the Third Aliya, Histadrut, & Mapai, & thus toward the attainment of statehood. In this process, tension developed between proponents of centralism & decentralism. The chief opposition to Mapai's centralism emerged from the kibbutz movement. Despite Katznelson's criticism of the kibbutz, it has made Israel's pluralism more effective. W. H. Stoddard.

Fundamental to modern politics is the fact that politics of security and diplomacy are central to society. Historically, foreign and security politics have been the main priorities of the political center, conducted primarily on that level. Since 1945, these political centers have gained predominance in die U.S. In the absence of well-integrated political elites, a highly centralized political party or parties, and powerful and permanent bureaucracies and civil service, the presidential political center has become the pivotal political center with almost exclusive control over foreign affairs and national security. The locus and degree of power widiin the American political and constitutional context, rather than elite orientations and practices, are identified to explain who dominates American foreign policy.
