Ten Policy analysis education in graduate programmes in Israel
-
Abstract
The contribution of this chapter is in its comparative overview of the graduate programs of public affairs/public policy in Israel, the assessment of their adherence to normative curricular practice in the United States, Canada and Europe, as well as their support of the public service in the Israeli context. With public policy analysis gradually becoming a profession in Israel, the programs of public policy, public administration and public affairs serve as the main pipeline for the training and development of a knowledgeable public service. Our underlying assumption is that the way public policy analysis is instructed, plays (a) a central role in the future approach and orientation of policy analysts in general as members of a professional community; and, (b) helps the Israeli public service become a more accountable, systematic, effective, and transparent system able to support democratic tenets and compete in the global markets.
