In this era of globalization, changes are taking place in the national state because of external and internal pressures: trans-national identity is being created (connected to the world at large), and neo-national identity is being created (submered in ethnicity). Post-Zionism is the Israeli version of trans-nationalism. It aspires to increasing universalization, that is, to the development of democracy in Israel. There are four possible explanations for the development of this phenomenon: the post-ideological approach; the post-modern approach, the post-colonialist approach, and the post-Marxist approach.
