Depuis la création de l’Etat d’Israël en 1948, l’économie de ce pays s’est progressivement transformée, passant d’une économie agricole sous-développée à une économie avancée sur le plan technologique et fondée sur les services. La libéralisation des échanges, l’abolition du contrôle des changes, l’adoption de règles modernes en matière de gouvernement d’entreprise et le renforcement de la protection de la propriété intellectuelle ont abouti à la mise en place d’un environnement transparent, non discriminatoire et favorable à l’investissement national et étranger. Les retombées positives de la politique adoptée par Israël pour attirer l’investissement direct étranger (IDE) sont encore amplifiées par la priorité donnée aux industries de haute technologie et l’existence de tout un ensemble d’engagements internationaux. Il faut cependant accorder une attention toute particulière aux mesures destinées à limiter les restrictions à l’accès au marché ou les distorsions consécutives à la forte présence de l’Etat dans l’activité économique. La poursuite des progrès en ce sens dépendra en fait dans une large mesure de l’accélération du processus de privatisation, du démantèlement des monopoles et de l’adoption d’une approche moins interventionniste de l’activité économique. Le 11 juillet 2002, Israël a été invité à souscrire à la Déclaration de l'OCDE sur l'investissement international et les entreprises multinationales après un examen approfondi de ses politiques en matière d'IDE. Cette publication présente les résultats de cet examen. Elle évalue le rôle positif que l'investissement direct étranger joue désormais dans l'économie israélienne et les mesures susceptibles de renforcer ce rôle à l'avenir. L'adhésion à la Déclaration contribuera à la consolidation des progrès déjà réalisés par Israël et au développement de ses relations économiques avec les pays Membres de l'OCDE ainsi qu’avec les autres pays non membres ayant souscrit à la Déclaration. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre des relations de coopération que l’OCDE entretient avec les économies non membres de diverses régions du monde.

OECD's review of Israel's investment policy. It finds that the Israeli economy has been progressively transformed from an underdeveloped agrarian economy to one which is technologically advanced and services-based. Trade liberalisation, along with the abolition of exchange controls, the adoption of modern corporate governance rules and intellectual property protection enhancement have led to the establishment of an enabling, transparent and non-discriminatory environment for domestic and foreign investment. The beneficial effects of Israel’s FDI policies are enhanced by a focus on high-tech industries and a wide network of international commitments. However, particular attention needs to be given to reducing market access restrictions or distortions resulting from past heavy government involvement. Further progress may in fact largely depend on the acceleration of the privatisation process, the dismantling of monopolies and a less interventionist approach to business activity.

Critics of urban and regional planning argue that it is best suited to manage incremental change. Can a planner's skills and expertise be effective in handling a major crisis and large-scale change? The mass immigration from the former Soviet Union to Israel in the 1990s offers the opportunity to study one of the largest-scale (non-disaster) crisis situations in a democratic, advanced-economy country. This book recounts the fascinating saga of how policymakers and planners at both the national and local levels responded to the formidable demand for housing and massive urban growth. Planners fo

Virtually undeveloped one hundred years ago, Israel, the promised "land of milk and honey," is in ecological disarray. In this gripping book, Alon Tal provides--for the first time ever--a history of environmentalism in Israel, interviewing hundreds of experts and activists who have made it their mission to keep the country's remarkable development sustainable amid a century of political and cultural turmoil. The modern Zionist vision began as a quest to redeem a land that bore the cumulative effects of two thousand years of foreign domination and neglect. Since then, Israel has suffered from its success. A tenfold increase in population and standard of living has polluted the air. The deserts have bloomed but groundwater has become contaminated. Urban sprawl threatens to pave over much of the country's breathtaking landscape. Yet there is hope. Tal's account considers the ecological and tactical lessons that emerge from dozens of cases of environmental mishaps, from habitat loss to river reclamation. Pollution in a Promised Land argues that the priorities and strategies of Israeli environmental advocates must address issues beyond traditional green agendas.
