Dr. Csaba Nikolenyi, the Director of the Azrieli Institute of Israel Studies and Professor in the Department of Political Science, will have an article published next month in the academic journal West European Politics, titled Government Termination and Anti-Defection Laws in Parliamentary Democracies.
The article explores how members of parliament are allowed to change their parties in Israel, New Zealand and India. The study is especially relevant for anyone who wants to understand the frantic party-hopping that is happening in the Knesset on the eve of the March elections!
