La planification, moteur de la réforme des grandes métropoles en Israel 

 - Paris :  IIAP,  oct./déc. 1998 
<br/><br/> In Israel, important reforms have been undertaken in regions dominated by an urban megalopolis. Adopting a rational choice, institutional approach, the study focuses on action from above which generates central-local governance coalitions of change. National planning is a major tool for activating a metropolitan-regional policy change. Action from above provides for incentives, resources, linkages and binding central-local policy coalition. Given the relatively low success of efforts to establish an area-wide metropolitan governing system via administrative-political change of metropolitan regions, the institutional multi-jurisdictional interactive governance approach proposed here is more likely to produce a change in behavior structures. This supports some of the major findings in the research of the role of relatively autonomous institutions and their capacity for change
