  • 2007 Israeli Democracy Index Is Dedicated to Captain Zur Zarhi from Nahalal, a Beloved Friend Who Went to War and Did Not Come Back
    Auditing Israeli Democracy – 2007 Cohesion in a Divided Society Asher Arian, Nir Atmor, Yael Hadar The Israel Democracy Institute is an independent, non-partisan body on the seam of academia and politics. The Institute proposes policy recommendations and reforms for government and public administration agencies. In its plans and endeavors, the Institute strives to support the institutions of Israel’s developing democracy and consolidate its values. The Institute’s research is followed up by practical recommendations, seeking to improve governance in Israel and foster a long-term vision for a stable democratic regime adapted to the structure, the values, and the norms of Israeli society. The Institute aspires to further public discourse in Israel on the issues placed on the national agenda, to promote structural, political, and economic reforms, to serve as a consulting body to decision-makers and the broad public, to provide information, and present comparative research. Researchers at the Israel Democracy Institute are leading academics directing projects in various areas of society and governance in Israel. The IDI Press produces, markets, and distributes the results of their work in several series of books (“The Democracy Library”), policy papers, the Caesarea Forum Series, periodicals, and conference proceedings. The Guttman Center was established in its present form in 1998, when the Guttman Institute for Applied Social Research became part of the Israel Democracy Institute. Professor Louis Guttman founded the original Institute in 1949 as a pioneering center for the study of public opinion and the advancement of social science methodology. The goal of the Guttman Center is to enrich public discourse on issues of public policy through the information retrieved from the Center’s databases and through public opinion surveys conducted by the Center.

Israel’s dilemmas are particularly acute and often involve many conflicting and contrary considerations. Accordingly, the country’s national leadership must be exposed to ongoing debate of the challenges ahead and the policy options available, in an integrative, interdisciplinary and bipartisan fashion. The Institute for Policy and Strategy (IPS) was founded to serve as a premier convener of Israeli leadership for such debate, focusing on strategic issues that require long-term planning, over- the-horizon thinking and a multi-disciplinary perspective. In pursuit of this end, IPS capitalizes on its smooth, unparalleled access to Israel’s upper echelons to commission task forces, convene conferences, and host executive roundtables involving senior policy makers and seasoned specialists in Israeli and international business, economics and industry, politics and government, academia, military, intelligence, law enforcement, and other vital and relevant sectors.

Often, they are established by it and, to a large extent, gain their legitimacy and stability from it. The constitution is taken as a given. In rare cases it may itself be amended, but the idea is that the constitution sets the framework of activity of the other organs of government, including the legislature itself. This situation permits intense discussions of the roles of the various powers under the constitution, * Haim H. Cohn Professor of Human Rights, Faculty of Law, Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
