Labour and the Political Economy in Israel Hardcover - 1992 - 1st Edition

by Michael Shalev


From the publisher

In this timely political analysis of the Israeli economy, Shalev focuses on the Histadrut, Israel's national trade union center, to unravel the relationship between organized labor and the state and to illustrate its impact on the management of economic performance. Throughout, Shalev relates the implications of Israel's specific case to larger issues in political economy.

From the rear cover

This is the first comprehensive account of Israel's central labour organization, the Histadrut, and the Israeli Labour Party, which dominated politics for more than four decades. The author develops a political economy approach which draws on contemporary theories of labour movements, labour markets, and state/economy relations. In comparison with the corporatist socialist democracies of Western Europe, the Israeli case is shown to be in many ways paradoxical. Shalev demonstrates that unravelling these paradoxes provides both challenges and insights for comparative studies of the advanced capitalist democracies. At the same time, he offers students of Israeli society a critical alternative to previous scholarship on labour relations, leftwing politics, and domestic public policy. This volume provides a controversial and theoretically informed assessment of the historical record, complemented by a novel interpretation of the dramatic political and economic instability which surfaced in Israel during the 1970s.
