The relationship between socio‐economic factors and responsiveness gaps in primary, preventative and health promotion services

Globalization and the Retreat of Citizen Participation in Collective Action: A Challenge for Public Administration
Globalization challenges the ability of contemporary public administration to encourage citizen participation in collective action through behaviors such as tax compliance and contributions to public goods. The authors introduce a new individual‐level approach to globalization, arguing that people vary in the extent to which they are globalized and that an individual's level of globalism (ILG) reflects attitudes and dispositions that influence th…
Evidence‐based disparities: Examining the gap between health expectations and experiences
Context In a time of economic austerity, one of the most daunting questions is who decides on healthcare rationing? In the current study, we sought to examine if the public can in fact provide meaningful information regarding healthcare policy issues. Based on theories of public policy, this paper tries to find out if patients behave akin to ‘responsible citizens’ and can provide differentiated expectations between three healthcare dimensions. Me…
Does the privatizing of policy formation threaten democracy? Arguments from the Israeli experience
Since the 1970s, the literature on privatization has tried to find the right balance between the public interest and the neoliberal spirit of modern economies. This article examines the implications of one such process – the privatizing of policy formation. Using examples from Israel, we maintain that allowing private interests to formulate public policy is unique among other types of privatization strategies. We seek to identify the challenges a…
Don't reinvent the wheel: The search for an identity for public administration
For many years, public administration has suffered from an identity crisis. This article argues that public administration's identity actually exists in the form of abandoned and often neglected fragments of well-established knowledge. We advocate reassembling these fragments and arranging them using a logic that will crystallize an identity for public administration. Our approach is based on viewing public administration as a social science of r…
Improvisation in Public Administration and Policy Making in Israel
Although improvisation stands outside of conventional models for rational policy making and Weberian administration, it is nonetheless prevalent in public life. This article argues that improvisation is both a natural consequence of bounded rationality as well as a product of cultural and personal predilections and environmental circumstances. Drawing on a number of instances of improvisation in public administration and policy making in Israel, …
Transitions in Israel's Policymaking Network
This article discusses the transition from the cohesive, highly integrated policy community that governed Israel till 1977 to the beginnings of the scattered, dispersed, loosely integrated policy issue network that we see in Israel today. It provides an overview of the main actors and features of the two networks and traces the course of the demise of one and the emergence of the other. It ends with a look at how the atomization inherent in a loo…
Some Antecedents to Healthcare Reform: Israel and the United States
This article addresses the question of what enabled the passage of Israel’s National Health Insurance Law in 1995, after decades of failed attempts, and tries to learn from this some of the reasons why United States President Clinton’s health reform efforts foundered. It argues that in Israel reform was preceded by major changes in the society as a whole – in its values, in the power of the organised para-political opposition, and in the politica…
The Proposals for Presidential Government in Israel: A Case Study in the Possibility of Institutional Transference
The politicians who call for the adoption of a presidential system in Israel assume that it will bring about the establishment of a stable and effective government capable of dealing successfully with the major problems facing Israel.' Moreover, the personality of the president would, they claim, become a symbol of national unity helping to reduce the major cleavages dividing Israeli society, namely those between the religious and secular sectors…
