Toward a new balance between governmental and non-governmental community work: the case of Israel

Yossi Korazim-Körösy0

0 The Hebrew University, Jerusalem

Community work is best perceived not as a single entity but as on a continuum. At one end is top-down national and local level state initiated and state supported public community work. At the other end is bottom-up non-governmental community work and social action. Between these two ends, several other practice models exist, representing mixed welfare policies. The article presents a historical overview of the topic in Israel, followed by current examples and models of governmental and non-governmental community work, which are analyzed by five dimensions: locus of initiation; funding sources; project goals; intervention methods and levels of complexity. The article concludes by suggesting a new division of labor between the three major community work auspices – the public, the voluntary, and the private sector – in order to ensure increased effectiveness of collective interventions in the future.
