Opis

This new volume in the International Library of Policy Analysis series offers a unique look at policy analysis in Israel. Arguing that Israel s status as a developed country that faces major security issues while grappling with frequent demographic changes causes exceptional challenges, the book offers an in-depth exploration of both the history and the current state of policy analysis in the nation. At the same time that the contributors, all well-respected and experienced Israeli scholars, emphasize Israel s distinctive character, they nonetheless show how researchers can draw important lessons from its experience for other countries around the world."
