We are excited to announce that Dr Artur Skorek has recently published an article in the prestigous Special Issue of ‘Israel Studies Review’. Congratulations!

The article titled ‘Decisiveness in Domestic Public Policies: Case Studies of Israeli Gas Field Development and COVID-19 Pandemic Response’ by dr Artur Skorek is a result of the OPUS 22 research project ‘Energy security and growing international interdependence. Israeli energy policy in transition’ funded by the National Science Centre and conducted under the supervision of Prof. Joanna Dyduch.

The article ‘argues that [Israeli] state identity also manifests itself in the domestic sphere and presents case studies of two such manifestations. The first pertains to the development of Israeli offshore gas fields in the Eastern Mediterranean while the second deals with the country's COVID-19 pandemic containment strategy. The two cases are similar in the decisive and extraordinary character of the measures that the government attempted to use. At the same time, in the first case study this attempt was mostly unsuccessful and only in the second case the decisive stance was effectively implemented’. The full text is available in Open Access and may be found here.

This research was funded by the National Science Centre in Poland (grant 2021/43/B/HS5/00780).

We are pleased to announce the publication of the prestigious Special Issue of ‘Israel Studies Review’ covering Public Policy in Israel. The issue was co-edited by the employees of the Institute of the Middle and Far East, Prof. Joanna Dyduch and Dr Artur Skorek. Congratulations!

As we read in the Introduction:

„The contributions in this Special Issue offer an in-depth reflection on how the Israeli government and other state institutions define principles, rules, and guidelines established to address specific problems (…). Acknowledging that public policies are developed and implemented first and foremost to achieve specific objectives, the authors examined carefully and critically the shape, content, and development trends of specific public policies. They also constructively assess adopted policy solutions and offer new policies”.
