Yohanan Manor : Administration and Society in Israel.
The Israeli society is divided in many autonomous segments and sectors which were generated by the initial matrix of the political parties and are still more or less affiliated to them. The ability of this national set to work and act as a whole results from a mechanism grounded on the control of the various segments by the respective political parties, the ability of their elites to cooperate, and the vested interests of quite every party in this political system and its actual functioning. The predominance of this pattern throws some light on the conservative dynamism, or the conservative anarchism of the Israeli society, as well as on some salient features of its state and administration. In spite of some recent structural changes, the state remains a limited and fractioned reality which main features are hazy and latent. Public administration is by no means a bureaucracy in the sense used by Weber. It remains a set of agencies which main function is to socialize the citizens to the political system, and to condition them to the rule of the political parties. The dominant style of action in public administration seems to amount to the institutionalization of the « débrouillardise », that is an ambivalent approach mixing a deep understanding of the need and role or organizations to a clear consciousness that one has to organize their short-circuiting. The costs attached to and the developments stemming from this system (the dwindling of the political parties, the situation of high dependency in which are the individuals, the failure of the system of decision making on the national level with regard to long term and cross sectoral-segmental issues) are creating the conditions for its modification.
