This books examines the structural constraints and dynamic processes of Israel's political economy by a unique combination of neo-corporatist and dual market approaches. Grinberg demonstrates that this combination of theories provides a better framework for the analysis of the last decade of political and economic crises in Israel.
The author focuses on the Israeli workers' organization, the Histadrut, its historical development and structure, and its relations with workers, employers, the Labor party, and the state on both economic and political levels. By examining the unique structure of the Histadrut, the author explains the most distinctive feature of contemporary corporatism in Israel, namely the contrast between the business and public sectors.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The topics of corporatism and dualism in labor markets are important to the understanding of the operation of contemporary societies, not only with respect to industrial relations, but also regarding the issue of coordination of economic policies at the national level." - Avner Ben-Ner, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
