The Israeli Agendas Project

Abstract

The Israeli Agendas Project was launched in 2012 in order to study the production of law and regulation over time. This chapter provides an overview of the Israeli Agendas Project. The chapter starts with a brief overview of the Israeli political system, and continues with the presentation of our datasets. To demonstrate part of the project, the chapter shows how the codification of the CAP codebook enables observation of the expansion of the Israeli Omnibus Arrangement Law in a novel way. Finally, the chapter addresses unique features of the coding procedure, which arise as a result of several challenges that are unique to Israeli politics.
