Abstract
Israel's military-industrial sector has undergone rapid expansion. This empirical study of military-industrial linkages in Israel posits the following hypotheses: • Israel's industrial sector is highly dependent on military production; • Israel's industrial sector is flooded with numerous former highranking military officers placed in key decision-making posts. Analysis is based on comprehensive data on Israeli governmental defense concerns and ancillary units, Histadrut (Labor Federation) defense companies, and private defense industries. The study reveals that Israel is indeed highly dependent on military production, noting differential extents of dependence among the major components of the industrial sector. It also confirms the second hypothesis, describing the distribution of senior officers in Israeli industry and its principal characteristics.
