Authored by Yitzhak Klein and Avital Ben Shlomo, this paper addresses the issue of Israel’s deficiencies of governance, as manifested in Israeli ministers’ inability to plan and implement the policies they were elected for, and outlines a comprehensive reform of the appointment process to the civil service as a solution.

It includes a comparative study showing the growth of political appointments (‘governance appointments” in the paper’s terminology) in leading democracies, including Britain, supposedly the home of an entirely neutral and professional civil service.

It concludes with detailed proposals, including a carefully crafted legislative proposal, to blend the ministerial power of appointment with professional, nonpartisan appointments in the senior ranks of the Israeli civil service.
