  • The Labor Party and the Peace Camp
    The Labor Party and the Peace Camp By Uzi Baram In contemporary Israeli public discourse, the preoccupation with ideology has died down markedly, to the point that even releasing a political platform as part of elections campaigns has become superfluous. Politicians from across the political spectrum are focused on distinguishing themselves from other contenders by labeling themselves and their rivals as right, left and center, while floating around in the air are slogans such as “political left,” social left,” “soft right,” “new right,” and “mainstream right.” Yet what do “left” and “right” mean in Israel, and to what extent do these slogans as well as the political division in today’s Israel correlate with the political traditions of the various parties? Is the Labor Party the obvious and natural heir of The Workers Party of the Land of Israel (Mapai)? Did the historical Mapai under the stewardship of Ben Gurion view itself as a left-wing party? Did Menachem Begin’s Herut Party see itself as a right-wing party? The Zionist Left and the Soviet Union As far-fetched as it may seem in the eyes of today’s onlooker, during the first years after the establishment of the state, the position vis-à-vis the Soviet Union was the litmus test of the left camp, which was then called “the workers’ camp.” This camp viewed the centrist liberal “General Zionists” party, which was identified with European liberal and middle-class beliefs in private property and capitalism, as its chief ideological rival (and with which the heads of major cities such as Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan were affiliated)­.

  • Strategic and Non-Policy Voting: a Coalitional Analysis of Israeli
    Strategic and Non-policy Voting: A Coalitional Analysis of Israeli Electoral Reform Ethan Bueno de Mesquita Department of Government Harvard University Forthcoming in Comparative Politics, October 2000. Strategic and Non-policy Voting: A Coalitional Analysis of Israeli Electoral Reform Abstract I examine why a majority of Israel’s legislators voted for direct election of the prime minister, reforming the electoral system that vested them with power. The analysis incorporates coalitional politics, strategic voting, and voter preferences over non-policy issues such as candidate charisma. The model generates novel hypotheses that are tested against empirical evidence. It explains five empirical puzzles that are not fully addressed by extant explanations: why Labour supported the reform, why Likud opposed it, why small left-wing parties supported the reform, small right-wing parties were split, and religious parties opposed it, why the Likud leadership, which opposed reform, lifted party discipline in the final reading of the bill, and why electoral reform passed at the particular time that it did. Strategic and Non-policy Voting: A Coalitional Analysis of Israeli Electoral Reform On March 18, 1992, Israel’s twelfth Knesset legislated the direct election of the Prime Minister, fundamentally altering Israel’s electoral system. Such large-scale electoral reform is rare in democracies.1 This is because electoral reform requires that those who have been vested with power by a particular system vote for a new system whose consequences are uncertain. Efforts to explain the political causes of Israeli electoral reform leave critical questions unanswered. A theory of electoral reform must explain both the interests of the political actors involved as well as why reform occurred at a particular time; it must specify the changes in the actors’ interests or in the political system that led to reform.

  • Regulation of Israeli Lawyers: from Professional Autonomy to Multi- Institutional Regulation
    ZIV FINAL 3/2/2009 8:46:47 AM REGULATION OF ISRAELI LAWYERS: FROM PROFESSIONAL AUTONOMY TO MULTI- INSTITUTIONAL REGULATION Neta Ziv* INTRODUCTION** Since the 1950s, research on the social organization of lawyers has attracted legal scholars and social scientists interested in jurisprudence and the justice system. Law is no longer considered only a system of state commands or a technical mechanism to resolve disputes, but also a body of knowledge shaped by experts and professionals and a site of power for controlling the production of such knowledge. Thus, questions about the groups that comprise the legal profession have become an integral part of research about law and the legal system. Lawyers, a dominant group within the legal profession (alongside judges and the legal academia), are part of “law making.” As Philip S. C. Lewis contends, “[lawyers] stand between the formal legal system and those who are subject to or take advantage of it.”1 They are necessary agents for people who wish to enjoy the protection of law. They draw legal materials that constitute the basis of legal arguments and reasoning. They formulate contracts, take part in drafting legislation, manage negotiations, and are necessary agents within adjudication.2 This Symposium inquires into the relationship between lawyers and democracy. The richness of its essays attests to the variety of paradigms in which one could examine this question. As Fred Zacharias describes in the opening remarks to his essay in this volume, one could ask whether lawyers can promote the values of democracy, given frequent inconsistencies * Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law.

  • Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel's Ethnic Democracy
    DEMOCRACY, IDENTITY AND SECURITY IN ISRAEL’S ETHNIC DEMOCRACY: THE IDEATIONAL UNDERPINNINGS OF INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE By Dubi Kanengisser A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Dubi Kanengisser, 2016 Democracy, Identity and Security in Israel’s Ethnic Democracy: The Ideational Underpinnings of Institutional Change, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016, Dubi Kanengisser, Graduate Department of Political Science, University of Toronto Abstract This work expands on the growing ideational institutionalist literature by proposing that institutional change and stability are influenced most substantially by changes to the underlying ideational network which link core societal ideas. These core ideas create the framework on which institutions are built and in which form they are fashioned. Changes to the ideational network lead to adaptive changes in institutions, but the difficulty in completely removing core ideas from these networks protects the institutions from substantial change. The theory is demonstrated using the case of the surprising stability of ethnic democracy in Israel in the wake of the substantial changes to the country’s economic and security realities. Small adaptive changes in the institution of ethnic democracy are traced back to changes in the balance between three core ideas: democracy, Jewish identity, and security. The overall stability of the institution, however, is linked to the enduring linkages of the three core ideas even as they experienced changes in their individual meanings. ii Too many years the Israeli left also accepted the separation between Jews and Arabs. First by looking away, then through submission, and finally wholeheartedly, it adopted the racist world view that the Arabs are not part of the political game.

  • Conceptual Framework and the Case of the National Health Insurance Law in Israel
    1 סדרת מאמרים לדיון Working paper series No. 7 – 2011 Policy Entrepreneurs and the Design of Public Policy: Conceptual Framework and the Case of the National Health Insurance Law in Israel Nissim Cohen 142 מערכות מידע חשבונאיות ממוחשבות 1 Policy Entrepreneurs and the Design of Public Policy: Conceptual Framework and the Case of the National Health Insurance Law in Israel1 Nissim Cohen2 Abstract The main aim of this article is to suggest a theoretical conceptual framework to facilitate the description and explanation of the influence of policy entrepreneurs on the formulation and design of public policy. The analysis focuses on the behavior and political participation of players as a sort of human behavior which designs, directly or indirectly, a given social, collective reality. The conceptual framework uses theoretical tools of public policy and administration as well as new institutional approaches. In this context, the article defines policy entrepreneur, identifies the main characteristics of entrepreneurial activities, describes various strategies which the policy entrepreneur may employ, and characterizes a model of successful and effective policy entrepreneurship. The article emphasizes the importance of policy entrepreneurs in the public policy arena and suggests several insights regarding the conditions for their activity, their motivations and main strategies. The theoretical framework and main insights regarding the processes of institutional change in public policy are used in the analysis of the design of the Israel National Health Law of 1994 as a case study. KEY WORDS: policy entrepreneurship, policy change, health care policy, reform, institutional change. 1 Draft only, ongoing work: Please do not cite or circulate without permission of the author.
