A joint publication of IDI and Bar-Ilan University Press and Law School, Democratic Culture in Israel and the World is a trailblazing academic journal that serves as a platform for research and scholarly debate on both the universal aspects of democratic culture, as well as on questions related exclusively to Israeli democracy, with a focus on the relationship between the institutions and substance of democracy and the unique characteristics of Judaism and Zionism.
