With its highly centralized politièal institutions, Israel is typical of the unitary, nonfederal politièal systems in the world. On the other hand, with its growing emè¨hasis on federalism, the United States reveals the functions and dysfunctions of the pluralist sysè² em. In this provocative book, Frederick Lazin compares the two types of political systems to show how municipalities in Isè¨ael, as in the United States, exèrt considerable influence on implementation of national doè¡«estic policies. He argues conèµ³incingly that unitary systems have many of the same diffièulties that their federal counè² erparts have in implementing social welfare policies. This study provides a theè§retical basis for understanding how administrative institutional system and socioeconomic staè² us variables affect the potential influence of municipalities and make implementation of policies so problematic. It develops a model for policy implementation in unitary systems which then serves as a framework of analyè²is for a series of case studies of social welfare, education, and health policy in Israel. Comè¨arisons are then made with the federal political system of the United States in which the naè² ional government needs the cooperation of local authorities to implement its policies. Referènce is made to federal housing policies and programs for low-inèome Americans. Similarities as well as differences are noted beè² ween the two systems in order to reach conclusions about polè¹cy implementation regardless of type of political system. The book contributes both to the general literature on policy implementation as well as to the politics of unitary versus federal systems. It provides a unique and important analysis of probè¡ems confronting both types of system in the area of policy imè¨lementation of social welfare programs, which remain imporè² ant concerns in political sysè² ems throughout the world.
