המחקר תורם לתיאורייה של עוצמה תאגידית במדע המדינה, ומוסיף לידע שלנו על השתנות מדינת הרווחה הישראלית, ובכללי אני ממש גאה בו ושמחה לראות שהתפרסם. תודה לכל הקולגות שלנו שהעירו ונתנו פידבק לאורך הדרך!

המחקר מראה איך השינוי בכללי הרכישה (פורמליים ובלתי פורמליים) התאים להיגיון הקפיטלסטי והתחרותי שבו פועלים תאגידים, למשאביהם, ולניסיון הנרחב שצברו בהגשה וזכייה במכרזים מדינה, בתוך קונטקסט של עשורים רבים של הפרטה בישראל.

המחקר שלי ושל שיר גל מאת"א על כניסת תאגידים למטרות רווח לאספקת שירותי רווחה בישראל ,ועל צבירת הכוח המוסדי שלהם התפרסם! אנחנו מנתחות איך השינוי במשטר הרכישה של שירותי רווחה בישראל, ובתוכו המעבר לשימוש במכרזים תחרותיים, אפשר לתאגידים למטרות רווח לצבור עוצמה מוסדית - מול המדינה ובעיקר על חשבון מלכ"רים.

4/5 Some papers you just love a bit extra - this was a super interesting and what felt like important research and I'm thrilled to see it finally out.

3/5 We argue that the alignment of a market-based approach and practices in the state's social services acquisition regime, with business corporations' capitalist, expansionary logic and competitive experience contributed to their empowerment in a changing institutional environment.

2/5 A shift to marketization in the regime leads to micro-level policy feedback effects that contribute to accumulation of institutional power of large business corporations. We illustrate this through process tracing the change in the acquisition regime of social services in Israel in the 2010s.

1/5Happy to share this from @psjeditor.bsky.social, w Shir Gal (TAU). We study the conditions under which business corporations expand their institutional power. We find that *how* the state purchases (its acquisition regime) shapes corporations' instit' power
