As one of the world's smallest and most densely populated countries, the State of Israel faces significant challenges in its land policy. The country's national identity is intertwined with profound internal contradictions, making it crucial to understand its land law and policies to grasp its essence. In his book, Land Law and Policy in Israel, Haim Sandberg argues that delving into the intricacies of land law and policy provides a unique lens through which to comprehend Israel's most prominent identity issues.
Sandberg contends that understanding Israel's identity requires deciphering the code embedded in the Hebrew secret of Israeli dry land law. By examining the complex facets of property law and land policy, one gains a profound insight into the country's most pressing challenges.
Land Law and Policy in Israel explores how Israel's modern land system strives to reconcile the legacy of the past with the demands of the present. It examines the interplay between nationalization, privatization, bureaucracy, and innovation, as well as the complex dynamics between the Jewish majority and the non-Jewish minority. The book also delves into the legislative creativity and judicial activism that shape Israel's land policy.
The regulation of property and the determination of land usage have been the outcomes of deliberate choices made within the context of competing and evolving notions of national identity. Land Law and Policy in Israel offers valuable insights not only for those interested in Israel but also for anyone seeking to comprehend the significance of land law in shaping a nation's destiny.
