This Special Issue is dedicated to the study of public policies in Israel. The issue illustrates the dynamics, specific character, and complexity of policy approaches to diverse issues in Israel. Our aim is to analyze challenges and offer practical remedies. By focusing on public policies, we highlight concepts and strategies of policy management. We also offer recommendations for improving the understanding of some intricate issues and, ipso facto, social conditions in a number of spheres. This issue is the result of a collaboration between the Association of Israel Studies and its sister organization the European Association of Israel Studies. Together we held, in March 2021, our first joint workshop on Public Policies in Israel. We brought together sixteen scholars interested in all spheres of public policy: culture, society, economy, religion, technology, and security. These were scholars from Israeli, European, American, and Indian universities. Analyzing decision-making mechanisms from different angles helps identify tendencies that permeate the political system and, indeed, society at large.
