Law and Government in Israel

<p>While most current studies on law and politics in Israel focus on the legal aspects of public policymaking within the courts this book explores the relationship between law and government from a positive perspective. That is to say that the question asked is: how the political relationships between the three branches of government affect public policy and hence social outcomes. </p><p>The eleven contributors to this volume concentrate on Israel from theoretical comparative and critical approaches and hence the analysis presented could as well be applied to other polities. </p><p>This book was published as a special issue of <em>Israel Affairs</em>.</p>
