Sommario/riassunto

This book examines Israeli strategies of adapting to a crisis of governability brought on by institutional stagnation. The book uses a new theory emphasizing the role of policy entrepreneurs in political institutions, and ultimately offers a method of electoral reform to address systemic maladies in the Israeli political system.
