Academic Positions:

Research Interests:
The changing relations between civil society organizations, the state, the private sector and foundations and the role played by globalization in this process. |
Research Projects:
1. Exploring the political economy of transnational norms regimes, mainly that of human rights – how donors shape the relations between human rights organizations and the state.
2. Studying the role that NGOs play in the re-organization of welfare-to-work governance in Israel by looking at NGOs and projects that aim at increasing the employability of women, promoting their self reliance and enhancing their entrepreneurial skills. This field of action - the 'NGOization of welfare-to-work' is seen as an integral part of (a) the growing numbers of NGOs that have become involved in "social economy" projects and (b) the emergent patterns of welfare governance organized around partnerships that involve public authorities, private sector and voluntary initiatives
