"This book explores the politics and institutional dynamics of neoliberal restructuring
in Israel. It puts forward a bold theoretical proposition: that the very creation
of a neoliberal political economy may be largely a state project. Correspondingly,
neoliberal restructuring and the institutionalization of permanent austerity are dependent
on reconfigured power relations between state actors, manifested in a new institutional
architecture of the state. This architecture, in turn, is the context in which efforts
to change social and employment policies play themselves out. The volume frames the
coming of neoliberalism in Israel as a set of concrete and far-reaching changes in
the power and modes of operation of the key players in the political economy--organized
labor, big business, and the state. These changes undermined and neutralized veto
players and enabled the ascendance of macroeconomic state agencies, which gained greatly
augmented authority and autonomy. The key agents of innovation were politicians and
economists in state agencies, and their initiatives combined processes of both punctuated
and incremental change. Within the overarching transformation of the state, the book
explores case studies of specific social and labor market policies. These reveal a
close elective affinity between programmatic neoliberal reforms and the proactive
drive of the Ministry of Finance to enhance its control over public spending and policy
design. The case studies also document instances in which neoliberal reforms were
blocked, undermined, or overturned by opposition from inside ot outside the state."
