Abstract
Epistemic communities supply advice for policy makers. Like in other areas, these communities have the capacity to research, organize, and influence policy in the security realm. Israel does not have a long history of utilizing epistemic communities as is the case in the United States and much of the Western world. Israel’s security paradigm and its perception as existing in a perpetual state of conflict has created a highly insular network of policy makers, wary of new and outside perspectives. The growing number of security challenges facing the state have, however, created a situation whereby policymakers are beginning to seek outside expert opinion. The proliferation of academic programs of study and security-oriented think tanks have provided a new cadre of experts and institutions eager to breach the closed circle of decision makers. As the security landscape continues to evolve, so too will the role of epistemic communities in responding to these changes.
