About this book
This book is the first to explore collaborative governance arrangements in Israel. It offers a new, modular definition of collaborative governance, focusing on its contributions toward public values and democracy. The book discusses different kinds of collaborations, their scope, implications and impact on governability in Israel, a country which provides an interesting setting for learning about collaborative governance, given its heterogenous population and the nature of the relationship between the state’s civil service, the business sector and the civil society. The book presents examples derived from local, and central government levels, and from policy areas such as education, regulation and local government.
Reviews
—Christopher Ansell, Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, USA
“Collaborative Governance: Theory and Lessons from Israel makes valuable contributions, both conceptually and empirically, to investigating the conditions under which collaborative governance is more or less effective. It insightfully uses an in-depth examination of Israeli cases to explore collaborative governance arrangements.”
—Yael Aronoff, Associate Professor, Michigan State University, USA
